Steps:

  • Spray a baking sheet and a wooden spoon with cooking spray.
  • Mix sugar and corn syrup together in a microwaveable bowl safe for high temperatures.

  • Stir peanuts and butter into sugar mixture. Heat in microwave until mixture becomes a caramel color, 3 to 4 minutes.

MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE

This puts store bought peanut brittle to shame. I prefer to use the skinless peanuts because I think the skins are bitter. The amount listed below for the peanuts is if you're using Virginia peanuts. If you're using Spanish peanuts then reduce the amount of peanuts to 1 1/2 cups. Be sure to watch the candy carefully the first time you make it.

Steps:

  • Combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a large microwave safe bowl. Mixture will be quite gummy.
  • Microwave on high power for 2 minutes and then stir.
  • Continue microwaving the peanut brittle a couple minutes at a time until the peanuts are a nice roasted brown color. Be sure you're looking at the peanuts themselves and not the syrup surrounding them. The time this takes will vary according to your microwave. When the syrup starts to get really hot you may want to check every minute or less to prevent it from burning.
  • After the peanuts are cooked quickly stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
  • Pour the candy out on to a sheet of aluminum foil and spread it as thin as you can get it.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

BEST EVER MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE

Note your microwave needs to be 750 to 950 watt. If your microwave is higher need to lower your cooking times and if your microwave is less you will need to increase your cooking time. I'm sorry I did not update this sooner.
