Microwave Peanut Brittle Recipe

I know... the microwave? There are certain instances where this is the right tool for the job. Just keep these tips in mind:
-Use a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup at least 4 cups in size. 6 cups would be ideal.
- 14 minutes is a guideline only, your microwave may be faster or slower.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups peanuts
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp baking soda
Method:
- In a large glass bowl or glass measuring cup mix peanuts, sugar, corn syrup and water.
• Microwave on high for 14 minutes. - This time may vary depending on the strength of your microwave.
• Remove from the microwave stir in the butter, then stir in the baking soda. - The mixture will bubble.
• Pour onto a greased cookie sheet and allow to cool for a few hours.
• Caution this recipe is really hot coming out of the microwave; no licking the spatula or bowl.
• Once the mixture has hardened break into smaller pieces.

You can try and keep this for a week or more in a sealed container... But it won't stay around for more than a day or two.

Caramel Sauce! How can you live without this stuff on your Ice Cream, or Cake? If you’ve been scared off by all the warnings about how hard it is to make (sugar that crystalises into rock hard candy), don’t worry; this recipe has a bit of corn syrup in it. The syrup keeps the mixture liquid - easing your fears.
