Can’t wait to try this!
Love how simple and easy it looks! Can’t wait to try this!
Each batch is a pound and I just made 18lbs to send out for Chritmas
I saw this and had all the ingredients on hand so after I ate lunch my daughter and I made some. We will see if it turns out!
It was a success!
Yay!
already had everything on hand except for peanuts, and i found 4oz bags of peanuts at rite aid for $1, grabbed a couple, now lets give this a try!
Used to make this a lot lost the how to !! Am so glad to find it again .the best & most simple way to make peanut brittle ! Thanks so much !
the first time I made this it tasted burnt so adjusted my cooking times and second time was perfect! Also make sure you wear oven mitts. The glass bowl is very hot!
Awesome! Thanks for the tips!
I have been making this in the microwave for many years. I to had to change my times for cooking, so it wouldn’t taste burnt
Do I need to adjust for high altitude?
I don’t think so! You should be good to go.
Made it today! Great! Won’t ever go back to cooking peanut brittle on the stove!
Yay!! I’m glad you love it!
Didn’t work…too soft.
That usually means it needs a little more time in the microwave.
Can this be poured on silicone mats?
Yep!!! You can totally do that! We <3 our silicone mats!
tried this tonight and it burned when I cooked the peanuts? Any idea why that would be
Microwaves can vary with cooking temperatures. Some cook very hot.
Next time I would try taking it out and stirring every 1 minute and possibly don’t cook for the full time depending on how it looks. Sorry youra burned. It is always a bummer to lose ingredients.
