Some might call peanut brittle old-fashioned, but to us, that just means classic! The candy that combines the sweetness of sugar with the salt and crunch of peanuts is obviously a winner, one we always look for in traditional candy shops while on vacation. That’s why we were so excited to find this easy, microwaveable version from Amy Lynn’s Kitchen! Now we can have it whenever we want, as quick as we want. It’ll be like family vacation every day of the year!

– 1 1/2 cups raw, shelled peanuts
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup light corn syrup
– 1/8 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
