Debbi's Microwave Peanut Brittle
All the cooking is done in the microwave, then just pour it onto a cookie sheet, let it cool, break it off and eat it."
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup salted peanuts
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1. Combine sugar and corn syrup in a 2 quart glass bowl and microwave on high 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts and microwave on high 3 1/2 minutes more, then stir in butter and vanilla and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
2. Stir in baking soda until light and foamy. Pour onto cookie sheet and spread thin. Cool completely and break into pieces and serve.
**Tip: spray the cookie sheet, then put parchment paper on top of that, then spray again (it isn't really necessary to spray the parchment top, but i do just to make sure the brittle comes off clean. i've tried buttering pans like some recipes suggest, but it always sticks.) then, pour brittle over it. it will not stick at all. and you can reuse the parchment for a few batches.
