This microwave peanut brittle is super easy to make and tastes great. No need for a candy thermometer!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 ½ cups peanuts, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
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.
