Peanut brittle in eight minutes? You read right! This easy peanut brittle recipe makes the perfect food gift for friends and family or a sweet snack anytime.

Instead of peanuts, you could us almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, almonds or walnuts. Or how about a mixed nut brittle? Sounds pretty good!

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 30 to 1 hour to cool
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour (approximately)

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

Here’s how you make it:

Stir sugar and syrup together in 1 1/2-quart casserole. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Stir in peanuts. Microwave on high 3 minutes.
Add butter and vanilla to syrup, blending well. Microwave on high 1 minute. (Caution: syrup is very hot!)
Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Quickly pour and spread mixture evenly on greased cookie sheet. Let cool 30 minutes to 1 hour.
When cool, break into small pieces. Store in airtight container.

Girls will love to help but Mom is in charge of the last step. Bowl gets to hot for them to handle. They will love to be the taste testers!!

Sometimes home made makes a Christmas gift special. Even I have 8 minutes to look good. Doormen gifts....done! Thank you!!!

Perfect. But they will like it so much that they will be looking for it each year. Start a new tradition.

Just a suggestion... Use a reusable container such as the mason jar like the one I used in the attached picture.

Perfect idea! I will copy exactly! On the search for cute Christmas fabric. Thanks for the follow up!!!!!

Sounds delicious, and best of all, easy! Thank you for sharing, Judy Thow!! #yum

Elisa, it is easy. You can make a number of batches and everyone is covered. Tip...soak cooking bowl and all utensils in warm soapy water for about 20 min. and clean up solved. That makes the clean up as easy as the preparation.
