Peanut Brittle Recipe!

For holidays and birthdays, my go to gift is homemade peanut brittle. My Grandfather loves this stuff, so I try to make some as part of his gift. It is super easy and this recipe makes about one pound.

Ingredients-

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup white corn syrup
• 1 cup peanuts
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda

Directions-

• Have a lightly greased cookie sheet ready.
• In a microwave safe bowl, stir sugar and corn syrup together. Microwave for four minutes.
• Add peanuts to the mixture and stir. Microwave for five minutes.
• Add butter and vanilla and stir. Microwave for two minutes.
• Add baking soda to the mix, stir quickly until foamy. Spread onto cookie sheet very quickly and smooth out. (It helps to have someone hold the bowl tilted over the cookie sheet while you scoop it out)
• Let peanut brittle cool, then crack into smaller pieces.

**This gets very hot and will burn you if you get any of it on your skin. PLEASE do not have any children near you while making this**
