Microwave Green Chile Pistachio Brittle
Monday, 26 May 2008
Description
This microwave version of peanut brittle is easier to prepare than most, but be sure to use a large bowl to keep the mixture from boiling over as the volume increases. The green chile heat is a nice complement to the sweet brittle.

Generously grease both a 2-quart microwavable bowl and a large cookie sheet.

Add the butter and stir well to blend. Return to the microwave and cook for another 4 minutes on high.

When the candy is cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight tin for future use.
