Microwave Peanut Brittle

Microwave peanut brittle is the BEST! This is just my kind of recipe for candy- one that requires no thermometer (just like this toffee) and comes out consistently great every time. And it literally just takes 10 minutes to make.

It is an awesome hostess gift, thank you gift, or holiday gift. Valentine's Day is coming... you could give a bag of this yummy stuff to your besties and make them happy!

1. Mix sugar and corn syrup & microwave on high for 4 minutes 
2. Stir in peanuts and microwave 4 more minutes

3. Stir in butter and vanilla and microwave 2 more minutes
4. Stir in baking soda - it's fun to see how it foams up~

5.  Pour onto greased baking sheet and spread thinly
6. After it has cooled, break into chunks
