Microwave 3 to 4 min. or until pale golden brown. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. (Mixture will foam.) Spread onto prepared baking sheet. Cool completely. Break into pieces.

MICROWAVE chocolate in 1-cup glass measuring cup on HIGH 1 to 2 min. or until chocolate is melted when stirred. Add peanut butter; stir until melted.

Refrigerate 20 min. or until chocolate is firm.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Trying to pace your eating at a party? Preview your choices and be selective instead of taking some of everything.

Caution

Use heavy oven mitts or potholders when removing bowl from microwave as candy mixture will be extremely hot. If available, use a 2-qt. glass measuring cup with handle as a large microwaveable bowl.

Hot/Sweet Peanut Brittle

Stir 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce into candy along with the vanilla.

AWESOME! Made it without the chocolate. The amount of peanuts was amazing, but to save a little money, 1 3/4 cups of peanuts would work instead of 2 cups. It was very peanutty with 2 cups. Oh so delicious and oh so easy! Only dirtied one bowl!
