Peanut Brittle

PEANUT BRITTLE

Based on a recipe by CJ Upchurch


In a microwave safe bowl mix well:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup RAW peanuts*

Microwave for 3 minutes on high

Remove, stir and microwave for another 3 minutes on high

Remove and add:
1 TBS butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract

Stir and microwave for another 2 minutes on high

Remove and add:
1 tsp baking soda and a dash of salt

Stir. Pour onto buttered foil-lined cookie sheet** and let set until cool.

Break up into bite sized pieces and enjoy!


* RAW peanuts can be hard to find. Try H Mart. Peanuts in the shell have usually been boiled and roasted - you must use raw peanuts or the brittle will burn.

** Prepare the sheet before you start cooking. The brittle hardens quickly.
