Hi Suzie! Welcome to the family! My mothers peanut brittle is better than store bought! Suggestion…since microwaves wattage varies, please keep watch on your mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn. Let me know how your peanut brittle turns out. Thanks
Hi Dan! Welcome to the family! I’ll give mom a big hug for you. Keep an eye on your mixture while it’s in the microwave. Make sure it doesn’t burn because microwave wattage varies. Thanks
This is a quick, great recipe!!! Thank you. Making this as Christmas gifts in remembrance of my mom, who gave each family a shoe box of p'nut Brittle& a shoe box of oat meal, raisin cookies every yr. We sure did look forward to them!!! God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Hi Katie! Welcome to the family! My mom is going to be so happy when I tell her you are going to try her recipe. Keep watch on the mixture making sure it doesn’t burn because microwave wattages are different. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks Katie!
That’s the only thing I did different was not spread it manually. I heated my cookie sheet in the oven on 200° during the last microwave. That helps the brittle spread over the pan easier by tilting and keeps the brittle more light and airy but still crunchy because you’re not knocking out the bubbles spreading it. I also do this with cashews. Thanks for showing us how not to have to stand over the stove making brittle anymore!
I've been making your microwave peanut brittle for a couple of months now. I just tried making it with brown sugar. It turned out just as good as with white sugar. Yummy!
That homemade peanut brittle would be a nice Christmas gift to pass out to your neighbors and family put it in a nice Christmas container and give them out as gifts
Thank you and Momma for sharing this recipe! I love peanut brittle ,but never made it using a microwave .After watching you ladies ,I'm going to try it!
I just made this in my pampered chef LG. Batter bowl...omgosh, the Carmel color.... I used Spanish peanuts..... you sold me.. Although I stirred every 2.3 minutes. I was afraid would boil over
You can half this recipe; cook 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup light karo syrup, and 1 - 1 1/2 cups spanish peanuts, stirred well, cook for 4 minutes on high, take out and stir, cook another 4 1/2 - 5 minutes. Take out - add 1 Tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda, mix well, spread thin on well buttered sheet pan.
I think it's going to taste fantastic mines almost done thanks so for such a better way to make peanut brittle... Love the recipe ... I used mixed nuts and it came out wonderful
Hi Bernice! Welcome to the family! This is an amazing recipe. Suggestion…microwave wattage varies so please keep watch on your mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn. Thanks

Get mama a silicon spatula it's a game changer. It can take very high temp and scrapes the bowl clean. It's also non stick naturally. Good tutorial, beautiful family made me miss my mom so much ❤.
Hi Erica! Welcome to the family! I’ll give mom your message. Just in case you decide to try this recipe, microwave wattage varies so please watch the mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn. Thanks
Hi there! Welcome to the family! When mom made her delicious peanut brittle, the kitchen smelled like a candy factory. It's a must try! Thanks for watching!
July 4th 2024. Did I miss her adding the Vanilla ? Anyways looks delicious and I am sure it is scrumptious. Thank you for the recipe. Regards to the Mom.
Any brittle sets up real fast so you got to work quickly to get it spread out or will be thick and not so easy to eat. It's supposed to shatter when you bite into it.
Omgoodness...new subbie..so good..I use sliced almonds... makes it so nice and chewy.. also pecans.. don't care for peanuts myself.. going to be a Christmas treat..
Hi Crafty Stash! Welcome to the family! Yes, almonds and pecans are a great addition to this brittle. Sometime mom puts it in hers as well. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel.
@@thecartpathwayofcooking Made this a few days ago..I used to make it in a pan.. with candy thermometers and worrying about the time and getting it just right ..not anymore..this is so easy..thanks and a Merry Christmas to you and your family
I’ve never made brittle before, just poured it on the sheet about 15 minutes ago! My son said he loves peanut brittle but it’s too hard so he never eats it. I’m hoping this one changes his mind.
Resist the urge to spread it out in the pan, the baking soda creates the tiny bubbles that make it fluffy instead of too hard, spreading it out destroys all the bubbles and it'll be hard as rock! Very nice adaptation to microwave, times will vary depending on your microwave! Temp should be 310 when you pour it! 👍👍👍
Hi Dailydrew3879! Welcome to the family! Yes mom is camera shy. This is an amazing peanut brittle recipe. It’s better than store bought! Whenever you try this recipe always remember that microwave wattage’s vary. Keep an eye on the mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn. Thanks and take care!
Hi Rhonda! I'm not quite sure but I think the baking soda gives the peanut brittle a smoother crisp texture. I'll research it. Surprisingly though you cannot taste the baking soda in it. Thanks for asking and supporting the channel. Take care!
Hi Randy! Welcome to the family! Mom puts her peanut brittle in a ziplock bag and stores it in the refrigerator. I’m not sure about an expiration date. Thanks
You are absolutely right, it probably won’t last. Just a suggestion, microwave wattage varies so please keep watch on your mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn. Let me know how your peanut brittle turns out. Thanks
I've made a couple of batches and I've watched several videos but you cook yours about twice as long as anybody else. I wonder what that does as far as the taste or the consistency of the peanut butter. Looks good. I saw that the places that do this commercially have a heated table that they work on when they pour it out so I'm going to try heating up my cookie sheet and see if I can spread it thinner since I put it outside to cool since it's winter. Thanks again.
She has double the recipe than other videos. I was also wondering about the difference in cook times. I see why here. You also have to watch the coloring as it cooks. If it starts to get too brown, you should probably stop cooking it and continue to the next step.
@@ellakajfasz2569 One of the batches we did actually scorched a bit. I think I hadn't fully mixed it. Smelled burnt, was a dark brown. Was the favorite of all the batches. It had a really subtle smoky taste and was really good.
Gotta make a double batch for Christmas so I'm making sure I have Mama's steps correct. You list a pinch of salt but I don't see where it's added in the process. Would I add it with the peanuts on the second 8 minutes or with the vanilla and butter for the 3 minute microwave? The family is VERY excited to know there'll be more for Christmas!
Hi Bernadette! How are you? Mom said she added a pinch of salt to the can of peanuts before we started to film the video. The peanut brittle mom made was a double batch. Keep in mind that microwaves and ovens vary in wattage. Keep an eye on the mixture while it is in the microwave to make sure it doesn't burn. It's going to turn out amazing! You got this Bernadette! Take care and stay safe!
@@thecartpathwayofcooking Thank you for clarifying that for me. Well I guess I'm making a quadruple batch if this is a double. We're sharing it with friends and neighbors,🙂
Your peanut brittle is going to be a big hit with your friends and neighbors! After the brittle has cool completely, put it in a Ziploc bag. Mom stores her candy in the refrigerator, and I put mine in the pantry. It keeps well. Enjoy!
Hi Kathy! Welcome to the family. Great question. Microwaves and ovens wattage varies. My parents microwave wattage is 1.5. I'm not exactly sure but I'm assuming that is considered high. Thank you for watching the video! Take care and stay safe!
@@thecartpathwayofcooking thanks for that info. I will attempt to make your moms brittle in a few minutes. You be safe as well. I subscribed and looking forward to more videos. Have a blessed day.
@@kathyvaughn5546 Keep an eye on your mixture while it's in the microwave, to make sure it is not cooking too fast or too slow, (depending on your microwave). You don't want it to burn. Be careful when taking it out of the microwave because it is tremendously HOT. Mom has been making peanut brittle for years. I've never tried making it. Let me know how it turns out. I know it's going to be amazing! You got this! Thank you for subscribing to the channel. We have more exciting videos coming! Again, thanks for watching!
Hi AfroLady352! Welcome to the family! Mom says you can use salted or unsalted butter. Suggestion….microwave wattage varies so please keep watch on the mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn. Thanks
Hi Tiffany! Welcome to the family! Mom said she never used parchment paper for this recipe. Give it a try. This is just a suggestion to make sure the peanut brittle doesn't stick to the parchment paper, use a nonstick cooking spray but use lightly. Let me know how it turn out. Thanks for watching!
I cooked my candy at the time you noted, but it burned. I believe my microwave cooks hotter than yours so I will shorten the time and watch for the browning of the sugar. If all goes well, I will to remember to resend an update. I believe that should work.
The baking soda does one thing: adds bubble's to make a crisp, easy bite. If you use 1/2 the amount, and DON'T smash it down it will be just as easily snap-able without ever being cement-teeth breaking- and can never be chewy, the first 8min boil solved that to the hard-crack stage. Otherwise, GREAT RECIPE! (I also half corn strip and add 1/2 stick of butter for flavor).
Hi Regina! Welcome to the family! Yes, give it another try. I think it’s a difference in the microwave wattage. Try using less time. Thank you for supporting us!
I never made brittle before I tried to make today but didn't come out my pecans burnt so I guess I have to put on for less time microwave is 1000 watts
Something else you can do is put another silpat or parchment paper over the top and use a rolling pin to roll it out flat quickly. :-) I am stealing Mama's technique of the microwave. :-)
I'm sorry I think the 8 x 2 min is too long. My mixture was burnt my microwavable glass dish broke when I placed it under the very hot water as I was instructed.
Hi Nita! I'm sorry to hear of your experience with the peanut brittle. I don't know what went wrong in this case. What was shown on the video is how my mom makes her peanut brittle each and every time with no problem. After mom quickly spread the peanut mixture onto the baking pan, she put the bowl into a sink full of hot water as she usually does. She didn't let the bowl cool down at all. What I do know is microwaves and ovens vary because of the size and wattage. Again, I don't know what went wrong. My hope is that you are inspired to cook and continue to be a part of The Cart Pathway family. Thanks for watching Nita!
Hi James! Welcome to the family! I’m sorry your peanut brittle burned. The microwave wattage varies. Suggestion..next time try decreasing the time. Check the mixture each time you put it in the microwave. Don’t give up. Thanks

Something else you can do is put another silpat or parchment paper over the top and use a rolling pin to roll it out flat quickly. :-) I am stealing Mama's technique of the microwave. :-)
Great tip! Thanks
I'm sorry I think the 8 x 2 min is too long. My mixture was burnt my microwavable glass dish broke when I placed it under the very hot water as I was instructed.
Hi Nita! I'm sorry to hear of your experience with the peanut brittle. I don't know what went wrong in this case. What was shown on the video is how my mom makes her peanut brittle each and every time with no problem. After mom quickly spread the peanut mixture onto the baking pan, she put the bowl into a sink full of hot water as she usually does. She didn't let the bowl cool down at all. What I do know is microwaves and ovens vary because of the size and wattage. Again, I don't know what went wrong. My hope is that you are inspired to cook and continue to be a part of The Cart Pathway family. Thanks for watching Nita!
That looks like a half sheet pan.
What is her microwave wattage ?
Hi mommastitches2122! Welcome to the family! Mom’s microwave wattage is 1.5. Thanks
@@thecartpathwayofcooking Thank you !!! Love your channel
Thank you and keep watching my friend!

Hi James! Welcome to the family! I’m sorry your peanut brittle burned. The microwave wattage varies. Suggestion..next time try decreasing the time. Check the mixture each time you put it in the microwave. Don’t give up. Thanks
Where can you get the amount ingredients
Hi Trula! Welcome to the family! The ingredients and measurements are located under the show more tab in the description box. On my computer the show more tab is underneath the video. Thanks
Don't break that too small, I'll eat a big piece of it. It's really addicting.
Hi Ella! Welcome to the family! We eat big pieces as well. Yummy! Thanks
I see everybody making peanut brittle with dry roasted peanuts. The problem is those have onion and garlic flavor on the outside! SMH
I don't think this is healthy too much sugar and corn syrup. there must be another way of making it
Hi Chi! Welcome to the family! Thanks for watching.
That is way too much of ingredients
tried this for the first time and the last 3 minutes was to long. I burnt it! what a waste of time and ingredients.
Hi Shelly! I’m sorry to hear that your peanut brittle burned. Microwave wattages varies. Don’t give up! Thanks
