How to make peanut brittle in a microwave

Hubster makes some amazing treats. One of my favorites is this amazingly simple peanut brittle. It has a slight twist on the old fashioned recipe because it’s made in the microwave! With just a few ingredients, this homemade sweet can be made and shared with family – or gifted in a lovely tin. Whatever the case, making this microwave peanut brittle takes less than 20 minutes, and that includes the cooling time! So grab some corn syrup and peanuts and get to making this super easy candy treat.
