Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle

Alright you guys, I am sharing a family recipe with you today.  This Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle has been in my family for a long time and I’ve been making it myself for years.  This recipe is very easy to make and takes less than 10 minutes.  I make this peanut brittle every year for the holidays and it always tastes amazing!

Easy Peanut Brittle for the holidaysThis recipe came from my grandma (my dad’s mom) and was passed down to me.  If there’s one thing I have to make my dad for Christmas, it’s this peanut brittle.  He loves it so much!  I make several batches and give it to others as gifts.

This year I’m not doing a lot of holiday baking.  I think I tried to kill myself last year and didn’t want to stress again this year.  In fact, I’m pulling back the reins on everything Christmas this year.  It’s not worth all the stress.  What about you?  Are you doing a lot this year?
