Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
• 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
• 1 cup sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup light corn syrup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a glass bowl, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, peanuts, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly blended. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Slowly stir in the butter, and microwave an additional 30 seconds.

Step 2

Very carefully remove bowl from the microwave as the contents will be extremely hot. Gently stir in baking soda until mixture becomes light and foamy. Turn batter out onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet, scraping sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Allow brittle to cool for 1 hour, then break into pieces.
