10-Minute Microwave Peanut Brittle

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 cup salted, roasted peanuts

Instructions

• 1 Start by buttering a large rimmed cookie sheet or jelly roll pan or simply spray
  it with cooking spray.
• 2 In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda. Set aside.
• 3 In a large glass bowl that is suitable for the microwave, combine sugar and
  light corn syrup. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
• 4 Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. It will be hot. Stir mixture with
  a silicone spatula and return to the microwave for an additional 3 to 5 minutes
  or until light golden brown in color.
• 5 Remove from the microwave with pot holders, as the bowl and ingredients will be
  very hot. Stir in the vanilla and butter, until combined. Stir in the cinnamon,
  nutmeg, and baking soda mixture. Stir in the salted, roasted peanuts.
• 6 Using a silicone spatula or spoon sprayed with no-stick spray, spread the
  mixture onto your greased baking sheet. Spread it out evenly until it is about
  the same thickness as the peanuts. Work quickly, so mixture does not set before
  it is spread onto the baking sheet.
• 7 Allow to sit for about 1-2 hours or until hardened.
• 8 Once hardened, use your hands go break peanut brittle into pieces.
