Well, I won't be making peanut brittle on the stove anymore! I used to HATE stirring and waiting for that thermometer to reach the right temperature. This is so easy and SO fast! Delicious flavor, it is the same thing I always made, without the work! Thanks a lot Diggy!! I'll make this again at Christmas. -
I made this with very good results. I think a tip for some of the people who are having trouble with ruining bowls is to remember that just because a bowl is microwavable, doesn't mean it can withstand the heat from boiling sugar and corn syrup. I used a pyrex type glass bowl and it worked great - no burn and cleaned up with hot water. Also, microwaves come in different watts. If you have an 1100 watt microwave, you don't need to cook it as long as someone who has an 800 watter. You should keep your eye on it, checking every couple of minutes. Thank you for a super easy, tasty recipe! I'll be making this again soon for my Christmas treat tray. -
This is the same recipe my late wife had for years. I can even do it. I recently visited her sister and I took a batch with me. She loved it. DW always liked it because the candy would never stick together as bad as some do. An easy recipe, using everyday ingredients and so quick to throw together. Thanks for posting, Miss Diggy.

I should read more about the recipes I choose. All I saw was the five star recommendation. I cooked the first four ingredients 8 minutes and burned the whole mess. I almost lost a 50 year old bowl, passed down from my Mother. Fortunately, I was able to cool the bowl down and it didn't break. I'll be more careful next time. After it burned, I went back into the recipe and read a comment from ANG18 where she had ruined a dish of her own. -
8 minutes did not work in my microwae. I burned the first 4 ingredients and melted my microwavable bowl, I have had for 18 years. Also, I did not understand why this recipe calls for 3hrs. Prep time.
