This recipe rocks!! Having never made brittle before, or any candy for that matter, I didn't want to have to going out and buying a candy thermometer or worry about things like "hard ball". I'm not even sure if 700 watt microwaves are even made anymore, but mine is a 1500, which was made in 05. I followed Mariezee's time exactly and everthing turned out just awesome. I followed the original recipe exactly as well. I made 5 batches today and each one turned out perfect. I have a lot of reicpes on this site saved, but this is one of the best ones I've made in a while.

I used 2 1/2 cups of leftover roasted chicken and followed some of the advise of others here. Used a quarter lb of cubed valveeta and some mozerella and swiss I had laying around. Another reviewer suggested 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 sour cream. Did that, along with 1/2 packet of onion soup mix. Also added 2 tablespoons of Miracle Whip, a tablespoon of lemon juice and sprinkled Paprika over the top once it was put together. This is a great base recipe to add whatever touches you like. 2 Adults and 1 5 year old ate almost the whole pan. I couldn't stop. With salad and garlic bread, this was a winner.

This was my first attempt at corned beef so I don't have anything else to compare this too. We planned on Reubens for dinner and the only way I've made them in the past is buying the deli sliced corned beef. This Was AWESOME. Cooked in the the slow cooker - 6 hours on low and the last 2 on high. Did one 3 lb brisket, but didn't reduce any of the other ingredients. It made about 7 nice sandwiches. So good in fact, I went out and bought a 4 1/2 lb brisket to do again next weekend.
