Microwave Oven Peanut Brittle

Recipe View 2 mins Prepare Your Pan: Generously grease a baking sheet with butter or line with parchment paper. Set aside. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View 7 mins Microwave First Round: In a large, microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the dry roasted peanuts, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and sea salt. Microwave on High (700W) for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and the peanuts are lightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. (Cook time: 6-7 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Incorporate Butter and Vanilla: Remove the bowl from the microwave (use caution, as the bowl will be very hot). Stir in the unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract until well combined. Microwave for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture reaches a golden-brown color. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)
