Peanut Brittle?

[ByTheSea]

My family wants me to make Peanut Brittle tomorrow...

Sounds fun, but I have never made it. I got a recipe off the net, but was wondering if anyone has a "proven" recipe they would like to share?

I have made this every year for at least 10 years now and it has never failed! (except the time I tried to double it!) Also, be careful, it gets very hot in the process! I hope you like it!

Microwave Peanut Brittle

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light Karo

Put in 1 1/2 quart glass container, cook on high for 3 minutes. Remove, stir and cook 3 more minutes.

Add:

1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raw peanuts

Stir and cook 3 minutes on high.

Add:

1 teaspoon soda

Stir and pour immediately on buttered cookie sheet.
Cool.

(Note, this recipe cannot be doubled)

I once tried to substitute margarine for butter in a peanut brittle recipe- It didn't work.
