Day 23 - Microwave Peanut Brittle

Like the peppermint bark, peanut brittle is a holiday candy staple at our house. This easy version allows you to have all of the yummy, with none of the fuss!

Microwave Peanut Brittle

1 1/2 cup raw peanuts
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

Combine peanuts, corn syrup, sugar and salt in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once in the middle and again at the end. Add butter and vanilla, mixing well, then heat for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in baking soda.

Pour mixture onto greased baking sheet and let cool. Break into small pieces.
