Crunchy Peanut Brittle in Microwave

Earlier today I posted a microwave recipe for peanut brittle. I went to the kitchen and made as directed. The candy was delicious but it was a chewy peanut candy not a crisp brittle, that I am most familiar with. So I went searching for the old recipe I have always used.  Same quantity of ingredients, you just cook it longer.
The peanuts for the chewy version can be dry roasted peanuts or regular peanuts you buy for snacks.
The longer version needs to be raw peanuts. The extra 4 min. will make the peanuts cook.

Crunchy Peanut Brittle

1 cup sugar

½ cup corn syrup

1 cup raw peanuts or raw pecans chopped

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Grease a flexable cookie sheet.

This candy will be very hot when you take it out of the microwave oven so be very careful.

In a microwave safe bowl mix sugar, corn syrup, nuts and salt. Cook in microwave on high for 4 minutes stir and cook 4 minutes more. Add butter and vanilla and stir. Cook on high 1 minute more. Stir in teaspoon baking soda stir until foamy. Pour onto greased cookie sheet and cool. Break into small pieces and store in air tight container. Keep in cool dry spot.
