    If ya'll like peanut brittle but hate to make it, try this!

    Microwave Peanut Brittle

    1 cup sugar 1 tsp. butter
    1/2 cup white corn syrup 1 tsp. vanilla
    1 cup raw (shelled) peanuts 1 tsp. baking soda

    In 1 1/2 qt. microwave-safe bowl, stir together sugar and syrup. Microwave on high 4 minutes. Stir in nuts. Microwave on high 3-5 minutes (until mixture is LIGHT brown). Stir in butter and vanilla and microwave on high 1-2 minutes. Peanuts should be lightly brown and syrup is VERY hot (be careful). Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Quickly pour mixture onto greased cookie sheet and spread it out as evenly as possible.

    Let cool, break into pieces, and go to it! Wonderful stuff! Just as good as the recipes where you have to stand over the stove and stir forever.

    NOTE: Depending on the strength of your microwave, you will have to kind of play with the timing of the last two cooking steps. Mine is very powerful and I have to be very careful not to burn it.

    Sophie Mae makes good brittle--you can probably find it most anywhere. I assume because of your allergies you can't make it? If you can, though, the microwave recipe I posted only takes about 10 minutes plus cooling time and is wonderful.
