How to Make Microwave Soynut Brittle

  1. Prepare all ingredients in advance.
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
  3. In a 1 ½ quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light corn syrup.
  4. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup roasted, salted soynuts.
  6. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture is light golden brown, stirring every minute to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from microwave and stir in 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the butter is melted and incorporated.
  9. The soynuts will be lightly browned, and the syrup will be very hot.
  10. Quickly stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will become light and foamy; work quickly as it will cool rapidly.
  11. Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about ⅛ inch thickness.
  12. Let cool completely for at least 30-60 minutes, or until completely hardened.
  13. Once cool, break the brittle into small pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
