[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1395275, member: 1242"] I am ashamed to say that it is so sinfully easy you guys won't be impressed anymore ... but here goes ... Patti's "Name Your Favorite Nut" Brittle 1 to 1/2 cups of your favorite nut :P If you toast them first it really enhances the flavor but you don't have to. 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup Microwave, on high, in a [B]glass[/B] bowl (this is important!) for 2 minutes. Stir with a [B]wooden[/B] spoon (this is also important!) Return to microwave and cook on high until bubbly ... usually 1 to 3 minutes depending on your microwave's wattage. Our microwave is old. I cook mine for 3 minutes. Stir (with that wooden spoon) in 1 tablespoon of real butter -- [B]no margarine[/B]. (This is important.) Return to microwave and cook on high for another 3 to 5 minutes until golden amber in color. Not too long ... it will be so hot it will continue to cook for a bit after you take it out. [B]QUICKLY[/B] (yes, this is important lol) stir (again, with a wooden spoon) in 1 teaspoon of real vanilla and 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda BE CAREFUL ... the baking soda will make it bubble up and turn cloudy. Spread [B]QUICKLY[/B] as thinly as possible onto a very liberally buttered (the real stuff) cookie sheet. Let cool ... Crack and enjoy!! Once you get the hang of it you can be from start to finish is about 15 minutes ... I have made this brittle with pecans, peanuts, cashews, mixed nuts, walnuts and pine nuts. They all turned out pretty good but the pecan stuff is addictive ... One last thing ... you can use whole nuts or chopped nuts. If you chop the nuts yourself you will have a little "nut flour" -- the really fine shavings -- mixed in with the bigger pieces. That seems to add a very rich undernote to the brittle. However, YMMV ... So ... there ... my secret is out!! You guys enjoy!! Oh, one last thing ... It would behoove you to have a pot of boiling water on the stove. As soon as possible place the bowl and spoon in an empty sink, add some dishsoap and pour the boiling water into the bowl. Let it set until the water is cool enough you can put your hand in it to clean. That stuff is like cement when it cools! LOL [/QUOTE]
