This is a peanut brittle I concocted from several different recipes I have seen and used for peanut brittle over the years. It’s a fun twist on the standard brittle and tastes like a mix between hot cinnamon candies and peanut brittle.
Original recipe makes 2 pounds

Directions
- In a glass bowl, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, peanuts, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly blended. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Slowly stir in the butter, and microwave an additional 30 seconds.
- Very carefully remove bowl from the microwave as the contents will be extremely hot. Gently stir in baking soda until mixture becomes light and foamy. Turn batter out onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet, scraping sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Allow brittle to cool for 1 hour, then break into pieces.
