Peppery Peanut Brittle In The Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a cookie sheet. Combine sugar and corn syrup in a 2 quart glass bowl and microwave on high 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts and microwave on high 3 1/2 minutes more, then stir in butter and vanilla and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
• Stir in baking soda until light and foamy. Pour onto cookie sheet and spread thin. Cool completely and break into pieces and serve.

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.
• Heat sugar mixture in microwave on high for 5 minutes.
• Stir peanuts and butter into sugar mixture. Heat in microwave until mixture becomes a caramel color, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Mix baking soda and vanilla extract into syrup until smooth and foam has dissipated. 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.

Steps:

• Line a baking/cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray or grease with butter.
• Put 1 tablespoon molasses in a ½ cup measuring cup and then fill with corn syrup (spray cup with cooking spray first, so corn syrup will come out easier).
• Put corn syrup mixture and white sugar in an eight cup bowl and mix well then microwave on high for 2 minutes, remove and stir and then microwave for 1 more minute.
• Remove from microwave and add peanuts, stir into bubbling sugar mixture and microwave for 2 minutes.
• Remove from microwave and then stir in butter and vanilla and microwave for 1 minute.
• Remove from microwave and quickly stir in baking soda - it will get somewhat white and foamy - spread out onto baking sheet - you can let it cool at room temperature or cool in the fridge. Put mixing bowl cup in sink under hot running water to aid in cleanup.
• * I add the molasses because it gives the brittle a beautiful color - it is not required to make the recipe - if you don't want to use it, just use a full ½ cup of corn syrup. Watch out with sampling - this stuff is habit forming - if you want to bump it up a notch - add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to sugars at begining (my daughter and I like) or if you really want to kick up it up - add the cinnamon and 1/3 teaspoon caynne pepper - hot stuff. I love the sweet and spicy.

Steps:

• 1. This peanut can be made in the microwave. I find it quicker and easier but can also be made the usual way you make it if you have made brittle before.
• 2. Using 15x10x1 inch metal cookie sheet,,butter the sheet and also butter a spatula. you can also use buttery cooking spray...Toss the peanuts, hot pepper sauce and allspice until well coated.
• 3. In a 2 quart microwave safe glass bowl combine sugar and corn syrup, microwave, uncovered, on high cook for 4 minutes, stir, add peanut mixture, stir until blended...heat on high for another 4 minutes longer and mix turns light amber color. check with thermomete and if it reached th hard cracked stage,stir in butter micro 45 seconds longer, quickly stir in the baking soda and vanilla mixter should foam.. BE CAREFUL AS MIX WILL BE VERY HOT AND CAN A SERIOUS BURN..I use oven mitts to remove from micro.
• 4. Pour mixture onto pan and spread out with buttered spatula..spread as thin as possible,,you will have to work quickly..chill and break into pieces when chilled and set...My micro is an 850 watt micro. If you happen to get any hot mix on arm or hand immediately place an ice cube on area to avoid blistering Happy crunching.
