Day 6: Brittle Be Easy
I was apprehensive about making peanut brittle? I thought it would be uber messy? Ha! Peanut brittle is easy! And kind of fun and interesting to make!
Yes, I will make it again. And again and again.
I�m so cool now. I make my own peanut brittle.
Microwave Peanut Brittle
1 cup raw peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda
Stir together peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and salt in 1 1/2-quart casserole or 4-cup glass measure. Cook in microwave for 7 to 8 minutes on high, stirring well after 4 minutes. Add butter and blend well. Return to microwave and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on high or until peanuts are golden brown. Add vanilla and baking soda and stir gently until light and foamy. Pour onto greased (buttered) cookie sheet and let cool completely. When cool, break into pieces and store in airtight container.
Yeah, baby!
