Dangerous Microwave Nut Brittle (DF Hubbard)

8/1/2021

0 Comments

 
​WARNING! Do NOT wake up and think about this in the middle of the night!!  :)

Dangerous Microwave Nut Brittle  (because it is ready in about 20 minutes)
1 cup granulated sugar (or ANY dry sugar)
1/2 cup light corn syrup (or ANY liquid sugar)
1 cup salted roasted peanuts (or ANY type of see or nut)
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda (optional only if you want it fluffy

Grease a cookie sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
Add the sugar and corn syrup to a large microwave safe bowl. You want it at least about 4 cups in size. Stir them together till combined.
Microwave the bowl for 4 minutes, then stir it all together again.
Stir in the peanuts and microwave the bowl again for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir it all together.
Add the butter and vanilla extract and microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is a nice golden color. You don't want it to dark brown, if it is a dark brown color that means it is burnt. You can check it after 1 minute, to make sure.
Stir in the baking soda. The mixture may raise up, and get a little poofy. Skip the baking soda if you want thin pieces.
Spoon the brittle out onto the prepared pan. Tip the pan around to help the brittle spread, and thin out. You don't want to touch it too much with a spatula as that will cause the nice air bubbles that formed from the baking soda to pop, and it won't be the nice light texture. **
Let the brittle harden for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until it is solid. Then break it into pieces.

If you are a brittle lover, skip the last step and EAT as soon as it is cool enough!
