MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE
Butter a piece of foil on a cookie sheet.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white syrup
1 cup raw peanuts
1 tsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
Put sugar and syrup in large microwave dish. Stir well.
'Wave uncovered on HI for 4 minutes.
Stir in peanuts. 'wave for 3 minutes.
Stir in vanilla and butter. 'wave 1 minute
Stir in baking soda, Stir hard and fast and quickly dump
onto buttered foil. Spread out. Cool and break into pieces.
I add 10 seconds to each cooking time. The mixture will
appear pale when it's done but it's OK. Do cook it long enough.
The cooking bowl gets very hot. Be careful.
Pile up newspaper or something "heat proof" where you
set the cookie sheet. This is HOT.
Bowl will appear to be so covered with hard brittle that you
can never get it cleaned....fill with water and let soak
for a bit. It will all dissolve.
I've tried making this with all sorts of other nuts - pecans.
filberts, Brazil nuts (chopped), almonds, etc. I didn't
think it was great.

This is a recipe I've been using since 1982!! I
just found a recipe on All Recipes and it
doesn't call for raw peanuts ... ju
st regular salted peanuts. LOL LOL ...... and I work so hard and spend so much trying to find raw peanuts. I wonder if I'll ever be brave enough to try cooked peanuts.
