What Are The Ingredients For Microwave Pecan Brittle, airy and crisp Recipe?The ingredients for Microwave Pecan Brittle, airy and crisp are: 1 cup Pecan halves, quarters or pieces1 cup sugar 1/ 2 cup light corn syrup (not KARO) 1/8 tsp. salt 1 tbs. butter (or more) or real margarine (not spread) 1 tsp. vanilla (or more) [1 Tbs of Adam?s Best for lots of flavor] 1 tsp. baking soda (or more) [1 Tbs is more likely to result in the crackling middle layer] How Do I Make Microwave Pecan Brittle, airy and crisp?Here is how you make Microwave Pecan Brittle, airy and crisp: Stir pecans, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a 1 ? quart bowl. (Which is the standard Pyrex big measuring cup, which works well.)Microwave on high 7 or 8 minutes stirring well half way through.Add butter & vanilla and blend well.Microwave 1 or 2 minutesAdd baking soda and mix until mixture is light and foamy. Pour very quickly onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.Let cool for 30 minutes to an hour.Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.I found that the lower of the times ranges is adequate, especially when using the Pyrex measuring cup rather than a bowl. The wattage of the microwave also matters. Sometimes this comes out very airy, sometimes not. I have been told that it is due to the relative humidity, but I believe it is due to the amount of baking soda. I think when I add a level tsp. of baking soda it comes out less airy than when I add a great big heaping tsp. of baking soda. Be prepared to experiment and to have batches turn out badly. You will have to find the times that are right for you. On one microwave I found 2.5 min, 2.5 min followed by 45 seconds worked well but even then the results varied by the size of the bowl. The thing that people really comment on is the texture of this brittle. Adding a lot of baking soda and pouring it out into a baking pan where it can?t spread out results in a thicker brittle that has an airy center section which makes it not stick to the teeth as much as ordinary brittle. This recipe makes a pound of candy. I've calculated it as making 8 servings of 2 ounces each.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TSSW2000.What's The Nutritional Info For Microwave Pecan Brittle, airy and crisp?The nutritional information for Microwave Pecan Brittle, airy and crisp is:
