Microwave Peanut Brittle comes together easily and makes for a sweet snack any time of the year!
Have you ever made peanut brittle? I’ll be honest – I’ve been a little too intimidated to try it before now. It always seemed to be such a delicate recipe that I didn’t even want to bother. That is, until I found this Microwave Peanut Brittle recipe!
You really can make it in ten minutes or less. Ten minutes! It takes me longer than that to drag my butt out of bed some mornings. You can’t beat that – little time in the kitchen with one huge reward. Add a little popcorn in there, and you’ve got your very own homemade Poppycock!

I’m not sure why, but my mind has always associated peanut brittle with Christmas. I guess I know what’s going in our Christmas neighborhood goodie bags this year! 😉
How easy is this?! This is much easier than the way I’ve been making it!
