MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE



Microwave Peanut Brittle image

This puts store bought peanut brittle to shame. I prefer to use the skinless peanuts because I think the skins are bitter. The amount listed below for the peanuts is if you're using Virginia peanuts. If you're using Spanish peanuts then reduce the amount of peanuts to 1 1/2 cups. Be sure to watch the candy carefully the first time you make it.

Categories     Candy

Time 15m

Yield 12-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups raw peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a large microwave safe bowl. Mixture will be quite gummy.
  • Microwave on high power for 2 minutes and then stir.
  • Continue microwaving the peanut brittle a couple minutes at a time until the peanuts are a nice roasted brown color. Be sure you're looking at the peanuts themselves and not the syrup surrounding them. The time this takes will vary according to your microwave. When the syrup starts to get really hot you may want to check every minute or less to prevent it from burning.
  • After the peanuts are cooked quickly stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
  • Pour the candy out on to a sheet of aluminum foil and spread it as thin as you can get it.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut. Fresh coconut adds a delicious flavor and texture to the peanut brittle. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Toast the coconut before adding it to the peanut brittle. Toasting the coconut brings out its flavor and makes it more crispy. To toast the coconut, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Use a heavy-duty microwave-safe bowl. The peanut brittle will get very hot in the microwave, so it's important to use a bowl that can withstand the heat. A glass or ceramic bowl is a good option.
  • Stir the peanut brittle frequently while it's cooking. This will help to prevent it from burning. Stir the peanut brittle every 30 seconds or so.
  • Let the peanut brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This microwave peanut brittle with coconut and rum is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. The peanut brittle is crispy, crunchy, and has a delicious coconut and rum flavor. It's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
