Cashew + Peanut Brittle
2 cups salted roasted cashews or peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup(I've tried others, but they don't work as well)
1 TBLSP. margarine or butter
1/2 Tsp. butter flavoring
1 Tsp. real vanilla
1 Tsp. baking soda
Mix cashews/peanuts, sugar and corn syrup in a med. sized pyrex
bowl. Microwave on high for 4 min. Take out and stir. Microwave 3 more
minutes. Take out and add the butter, butter flavoring and vanilla. Stir
and return to microwave for 2 min. Take out and add the baking soda. Stir
and fold until mixture is fluffy. Work quickly and spread out evenly on a
lightly buttered cookie sheet. Let sit until completely cooled. Break
into pieces and keep in an airtight bag or container. Enjoy! (This was
tested in a 1000 watt microwave)(Adjust your time with the wattage of your
microwave)
