directions
- My microwave is 1150 watts. If yours is different you will need to adjust your cooking times.

- Combine the sugar and corn syrup and cook for 4 minutes on high.
- Add the peanuts or nuts of your choice (if you like more nuts add another cup) and cook for 3 minutes on high.
- Add the butter and vanilla and cook for 2 minutes on high.
- Add the baking soda and stir well. the mixture will turn a lighter color at this point.
- Pour immediately onto the prepared pan and spread out quickly.
- Let set for 1 minute, then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- Allow the chocolate to soften (approximately 5 - 10 minutes). Then spread out to cover the brittle. If you wish you made sprinkle chopped peanuts (or nut of your choice on top).
- Let stand until chocolate is no longer sticky (usually about 2 hours). Then break into pieces.
- Will keep will for weeks if stored in cool, dry place. If it lasts that long!
