This Microwave Peanut Brittle Recipe is the easiest peanut butter recipe you will ever fix.
I will never fix peanut brittle again over a hot stove. This microwave peanut brittle turned out great the first time I made it. It was so easy to make.
I made this today and it seemed to work ..although it is hard but sticky ..like “pull a filling out” sticky….did I cook too long? Or not long enough (everything is dissolved)?…just trying to trouble shoot the problem
Joanne,
Thank you for stopping by Recipes for our Daily Bread and leaving me a comment about my Microwave Peanut Brittle. My oldest son made this peanut brittle today too. It came out good. This peanut brittle has to be made quickly and the timer on the microwave has to be exactly 3 1/2 minutes each time. It is sticky because it did not get hot enough. I am thinking your microwave must not get quite as hot as mine. Next time, try 15 to 30 seconds longer but be really quickly stirring in the adding the soda, salt and vanilla.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting Recipes for our Daily Bread.
Blessings,
Diane

I was really looking forward to making this for the first time! I followed recipe to the tee! My brittle never got hard! It’s very chewy! 🙁
Nancy,
I am sorry I am just getting back to you but I wanted to make my microwave peanut brittle again this year. I make it every year and it always turns out well. I made it again today. I believe your brittle did not get hard because it did not get hot enough. The brittle did not cook enough. If you followed the recipe to a tee, it must be that your microwave does not get that hot. I have researched that Microwaves vary in their cooking temperatures. If it was sticky, it needed another minute to cook.
Thank you for stopping by Recipes for our Daily Bread. I am sorry your brittle did not get hard.
I will make this note on my recipe page.
HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!
BLESSINGS,

Looks delicious but where is the recipe?
Karen,
I have no idea what happened to the ziplist. I fixed it so the Microwave Peanut Brittle is showing up correctly now. I am truly sorry it did not work. I hope you enjoy this super easy recipe to make peanut brittle.

My father was 40 when he passed away. He loved all holidays ….my mom was a great cook…he loved life so…..miss him
Sherry,
Thank you so much for sharing about your father. He was so YOUNG! My father was 58 years old which is also very young. No matter how long they have been gone they will always be missed. Today, is my father’s actual birthday. I truly wish my kids could have known their grandfather. I love to cook! I also love to bake my father’s favorite dishes. It helps me remember him on his special occasions.

I can’t wait to try this! My family’s nuts about nuts! Thanks for sharing about your loss. We lost our Christmas person at Christmas in 1980. My father loved the holidays. He would start planning and cooking from thanksgiving on thru the new year. He was only 50 when he passed and it took a long time to feel any happiness. But God has put joy in our hearts once again. Merry Christmas Diane!
Maureen,
This Microwave Peanut Brittle is so easy to make. I really like making this peanut brittle and talking to my kids about the grandfather they never knew. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment. I am sorry to hear about your father also. My father was 58 when he passed away. Both of our dad’s was wayyyyyyyy to young!!!
BUT I know God is in control and He had and has a plan for all of us.

I’ve always been afraid to make candy since I failed the past couple of times I tried. This recipe looks like something I can handle. I love peanut brittle! Can’t wait to try it!
Jessica,
I have made peanut brittle many times on the stove. It is tricky to pull the candy off the stove as soon as it reaches hard crack stage. I could not believe this peanut brittle did not even need a candy thermometer. Be sure to check the Watts on your microwave.

My father passed away in his 50’s. He was way to young. Thank you for your sweet, encouraging comment. This peanut brittle was truly easy and I will be making it many times.
Have a great day!
