Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle

Step 1
Grease a baking sheet and a wooden spoon with cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix sugar and corn syrup together in a microwaveable bowl safe for high temperatures.

Step 3
Heat sugar mixture in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Step 4
Stir peanuts and butter into sugar mixture. Heat in the microwave until mixture turns a caramel color, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix baking soda and vanilla into syrup until smooth and foam has dissipated.

Step 5
Spread candy onto the prepared baking sheet using the sprayed wooden spoon. Work quickly; candy hardens fast. Let stand until cool. Break into pieces to serve.
