This is AWESOME!! I have been given cashew brittle for xmas as a gift but NEVER imagined how easy it is to make. This recipe is great!! The first time through was a good practice and I perfected it by try #2. I have made this maybe 6 times in 2 days. This is FANTASTIC!!! PERFECT results!! I have a powerful microwave and cooked it for 6 minutes---stirred and added ingredients and then cooked for 2 min 10 seconds more. PERFECT!! WORK QUICKLY after second heating as it cools and hardens amazingly quickly. THANKS for the recipe!!

Ok, here's the deal with this. I just made three batches of this stuff and all three didn't turn out. But, because I see how well this is rated, I'm assuming it was me. Batch one, was actually given to co-workers and it really has a wonderful taste, but it was chewy. And I'm sure it must be that it didn't reach the right temp in the microwave. The other two batches never even set up, and went right into the garbage. I really think it was my microwave, so give it a try, it doesn't cost very much to make, and it makes quite a bit!

I made this with raw cashews, and it was positively heavenly! Use one of the silicone pan liners for incredibly easy clean-up! I used a large pyrex measuring cup with the handle, and it cleaned up beautifully with hot water!! Thanks for a great recipe!!

I took the suggestion of a previous reviewer and used a large mixing bowl. DO NOT USE PLASTIC - IT JUST BURNED A WHOLE THRU WHEN I PULLED IT OUT OF THE MICROWAVE. TOTALLY MY FAULT! TRYING AGAIN!

This turned out perfectly, but I feel it should come with some warning labels. First, I'd definitely agree with the reviewer who said that this is too hot for children to work with. Even I burned myself when pouring the mixture out into the cookie sheet, which was difficult. However, once it had cooled and I'd broken it up, the finished product was heavily lauded. A great replacement for the store-bought peanut brittle we usually buy this time of year. I used the least amount of time possible (6 and 2 minutes) with my 700W microwave, and it was plenty. Also, I didn't have a big enough glass bowl, so I used a ceramic one. This is TOO HOT for plastic bowls. They will MELT. Was heavily raved about.

This was great! The suggestion to cook it in a huge measuring cup was very helpful. I tried doubling once and it ending up burning terribly, I'm not sure why. I stopped using the butter on the fourth batch and it tastes just as good!

This peanut brittle was so easy to make and a big hit with my whole family! I have a 1250 watt oven, so I used 60% power. I did everything else the same except I added the peanuts with the butter like other reviewers suggested.My dad thought that it could have had a stronger butter flavor, but I think it's great.

Thanks for the great recipe. I can't believe people actually buy this in the stores when it is so simple to make. Very easy to follow and perfect everytime (I put the roasted nuts in with the butter and vanilla). Happy Holidays!!!
