This is a great recipe and very easy. I was searching to see if it existed on recipezaar and was going to add it but found almost the exact same recipe here. Only difference is my version has only 1 teaspoon butter, otherwise it is identical. It is so easy my son in law made it without any help!

Easy and delicious. I have an 1100 watt microwave, so I set it to 70% power and used the correct times on the recipe. It came out perfect.

My recipe is exactly like this one. Also try this variation: Almond Brittle - Instead of peanuts and vanilla, add one (7 oz) jar dry roasted almonds and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Omit butter and add 1 cup (4 oz) shredded coconut with extract. I have also used pecans or cashews! Excellent!

Absolutely delicious!!! I made it with cashews instead of peanuts. All through the process, I kept thinking, this doesn't look like peanut (or cashew) brittle, but by the last step, it was exactly like store bought, and even better. Thanks so much for the simple recipe! :D Oh, one tip, when you have it in the microwave, keep opening the door during the heating, so that the mixture doesn't bubble over. So do it in small increments of time.
