My father made this for years. When he became so ill I had to step up to the plate and take over his duties. Dad made this all year long. He gave everyone he met a small bag. Every doctor, nurse, dentist, banker, and everyone who entered his life. His repeat recipients eyes would light up when he gave them their treat. As you all know his last stay in hospital was from June 2023 until he passed away last September 30/2023. I made so many batches of this brittle I lost count. All the hospital staff treated him so good he loved to pass on his love with a smile and a treat bag of brittle. The most important thing to remember about this recipe is it was designed with/for HIS Microwave! All microwaves are not of the same power. I had to adjust the times for MY microwave and you may very well need too as well. I am posting a picture from Dad's original book and also of the notes I printed out for my Microwave. He/I use SALTED peanuts, it's just better that way. I only use real butter to cook with but if Margarine is your thing have at it. The secret to the Brittle being hard and yet full of bubbles is the Baking Soda. It is the last ingredient added. It must be stirred in quickly, it turns the hot brittle white but don't worry the color will change back to that golden color. It is best to work fast, pour the hot brittle on a piece of parchment paper to let it cool. Use a butter coated silicone spatula to level it off. Take care not to over work or flatten the brittle that would remove the bubbles the Baking Soda created. I If you cooked it correctly when cooled the brittle will crack almost like glass by hitting it with the back of a soup spoon. Don't cool in the fridge as it will sweat. High Humidity will also make it sticky. Enjoy, If you have any questions let me know. plenty videos on YouTube showing the procedure. Weed EDIT! THIS 4 MINUTE COOK TIME IS FOR AN OLDER LESS WATTAGE MICROWAVE THAN MINE! THE FIRST COOK AT 4 MIN WILL BURN IN MY MICROWAVE. Edited October 31, 2024 by WeednFeed tsw 8.5 and major-mark63 1 1 Awards
