This is one of my favorite recipes and I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about it yet. This microwave brittle is amazingly easy to make. Happily I can still eat it because I tested positive to only tree nuts! Happy little peanut legumes.

I can’t even remember where this recipe came from. I’ve had it for so long all I know is I makes it yearly and that it makes great gifts at Christmas time.

MICROWAVE BRITTLE

1 cup sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 cup roasted/salted nuts (your choice) – you can also use raw nuts if you don’t want all the salt

1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

Grease a baking sheet
In a 1 ½ quart microwave safe dish (I use a Pyrex) combine sugar & corn syrup
