Peanut Brittle

I have never made peanut brittle before...but decided to try some for this year's Christmas baking and it was SOOO easy and turned out great. The recipe is from a cookbook called Gift From the Christmas Kitchen.

Peanut Brittle

1 c sugar

1/2 c light corn syrup

1/8 tsp salt

1 1/2 c roasted peanuts

1 tsp margarine or butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking soda

Spray cookie sheet w/ cooking spray. In a glass bowl stir sugar, syrup, and salt with wooden spoon until mixed. Microwave on High for 7 -8 minutes until pale yellow. Stir in nuts. Cook for 1 more minute. Add margarine, vanilla, & baking soda until foamy. Pour on sheet and spread evenly. Let cool; break into pieces.
