Micro Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. butter (oleo)
1 c. pecan pieces
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. soda

Preparation

Stir together salt, sugar and syrup in a 1 1/2-quart microwave casserole. Place in microwave on High and cook 4 minutes. Add pecans and stir well. Cook 4 minutes. Reduce this to 3 1/2 minutes if the microwave is 800 watts.
Add butter and vanilla; blend well. Return to microwave and cook 1 more minute or until light and foamy. Add soda and pour immediately onto a greased cookie sheet; cool. This must be done quickly as the brittle hardens rapidly. Break and store in airtight container.
