Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups peanuts, or more to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Spray a baking sheet and a wooden spoon with cooking spray.
Mix sugar and corn syrup together in a microwaveable bowl safe for high temperatures.
Heat sugar mixture in microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Stir peanuts and butter into sugar mixture. Heat in microwave until mixture becomes a caramel color, 3 to 4 minutes.
Mix baking soda and vanilla extract into syrup until smooth and foam has dissipated. Spread candy onto the prepared baking sheet using the sprayed wooden spoon. Work quickly; candy hardens fast. Let stand until cool. Break into pieces to serve.
