Alicia, you give your beautiful momma a big hug and a huge thank you from all of us for this delicious looking recipe. 💖
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
Thank your mama for the recipe. Also thank the camera man for the great closeup view. Making this one for sure.
Looks yummy 😀🥰
My little southern momma told me to never over work the finished brittle or you take all the air out of it, which helps to make it brittle.
Hi Katheryn! Welcome to the family! Thanks
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.
Hi Kathy! Welcome to the family! Thanks
I've watched so many... this is the one I want!!!
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
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!
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
Thanks

Hi Masheka! Welcome to the family! This is an amazing peanut brittle! Give it a try! Thanks
That looks delicious 😋 I'm going to try it
Hi Shirleybe! Welcome to the family! It’s a must try recipe! Thanks
If you just pour it out and not stretch it (which breaks up all the tiny air bubbles), it's much easier to break, bite and chew!!! Just a little FYI!
Hi Regina! Welcome to the family! Thanks
Amazing 🤩
Hi Sandra! Welcome to the family! Yes, it's amazing! Give it a try! Thanks Sandra!
Looks great and I know it taste good.
Yes indeed! Thanks Flo!

Mom needs to send you some!
Very easy I will try ❤️❤️❤️
This is a must try peanut brittle! Thanks Selina!
New subscriber. My name is Connie from Illinois. Can't wait to make this
Hi Connie! Welcome to the family! Thank you for supporting us!
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.
Hey it's the best I've ever eaten.... Made by my BFF Pat Harris. She is definitely the best.....PATTY DONE DID AGAIN.......
That's right! Thanks Teresa!
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.
Hi Bernadette! I hope he changes his mind too. Thanks for watching!
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!
👍👍👍
Add a tablespoon of caramel condensed milk if u put more it's lovely too
Ooo wwee!!!! YES 😄😄😄😄thanks for sharing have a great awesome BLESSED DAY TODAY in our LORD GOD and SAVOR JESUS CHRIST bye 😚😊
This is a must try recipe! Thanks for watching!
CRUNCHY, CRUNCHY, CRUNCHY!
Yes Sir!!!!!! Thanks James!
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 have the same recipe in a microwavable cookbook
It's a popular recipe. Give it a try. Thanks for watching!
@@thecartpathwayofcooking I have given it a try, I've made it so many times that's how I know it's delicious 😋😋
What watt microwave ❓ mine is a 1000 watt and I am worried to burn the mixture 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I make candy for a living now and this stuff will take your skin off!
When I make mine I only add 1 tsp of baking soda and stir until the foam is gone
Hi Kimberley! Welcome to the family! Great tip! Thanks
New subscriber :-)
Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to the family! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.
my microwave must be a higher power. I followed all the instructions but leaving it in 8 minutes each time and 3 min. my burnt. but I'll try it again
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'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.
Hi there! Welcome to the family! Thanks
She also does twice the batch size of most of the other recipes I've seen. I'm going to try with the longer cook time. It looks awesome
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.
I love watching this video, mama you are fantastic! I have one question that is what is the wattage on your microwave? 🥰
Hi Shanta'! Welcome to the family! Mom loved your comment. She say's "thank you." The wattage is 1.5. Thanks for watching!
I’m making this. I’ve got those ingredients!
It's better than store bought! Let me know how it turns out. Thanks Kristin!
Okay so that batch I made was declared mines. Super bowl Sunday I am making another batch (or two) to give to the fam on Valentine's day. 😊
Hi Kathy! You didn't share the candy, LOL. Mom and I are so happy to know your peanut brittle were a success. Take care and stay safe!
@@thecartpathwayofcooking Thank you and you and Mom do the same. Happy Valentine's Day.
Do you think more baking g soda would make it more airy?
Mom says, she is not sure about adding more baking soda.
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!
Thank you for sharing. May I ask about the baking soda I hate baking soda??
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!
@@thecartpathwayofcooking thank you You're welcome
YOU SHOULD PUT DIRECTIONS ON THE LIST WITH INGREDIENTS.
I can't write it down when I'm home alone because my hands don't function normally anymore and I can't hold the pen!
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!
@@bejai1962 Maybe you should make one double batch at a time as you need enough room in the pan to spread it out. You don't want it too thick.
If the recipe is halved do you use the same microwave times?
Mom doubled her recipe. Yes, each time the dish goes in the microwave half the time. Thanks for watching!
Hi, thank you for this video.
Can I replace corn syrup with Maltose?
Hi Lynn! Welcome to the family! Mom never use Maltose. Thanks
Great recipe but may I ask are you microwaving on high or low power? I want to make it this weekend.
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!
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
Hi Jackie! Welcome to the family! Microwaves and ovens vary in wattage. Try the recipe again. You got this! Thanks Jackie!
Where can I find this recipient?
Hi Judy! Click the show more tab to get the ingredients. Thanks for watching.
Dod she use salted or unsalted butter?
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
What is the use of baking soda ?
Hi Jeangaledo888! Welcome to the family! I’m not sure but I think baking soda gives the peanut brittle a light, crisp airy texture. Thanks
Is it the same recipe and microwave times if I would use pecans instead of peanuts?
Hi there! Welcome to the family! I will ask mom.
Yes, it the same recipe. Thanks
How do you store it, and does it expire? Great video...
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
@@thecartpathwayofcooking Thanks for the response. I figured that if it's really really good, it probably won't last long enough to go bad...
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
Can you tell me the wattage of the microwave you’re using?
Hi Sherry! Welcome to the family! The wattage on mom’s microwave is 1.5. Thanks
I put a whole stick of butter in mine.
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.
Hi Patrica! Welcome to the family! Microwave wattage varies. Yes, shorten the time. You got this! Thanks
Can I use parchment paper?
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!
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
made exactly by direction and it BURNT!
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
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!
That looks like a half sheet pan.
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).
Thanks for watching!
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
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
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
