What You Do

Make sure to measure all ingredients carefully.

Very light grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil and set aside. Do not be tempted to oil the pan with a heavy hand because that will result in oily brittle.

In a large glass bowl that will fit into the microwave, stir together the corn syrup, sugar, peanuts and 5 spice powder until thoroughly mixed together.

Microwave on high for 6 minutes.

Stir in the butter and microwave for an additional 30 seconds.

Remove from microwave and gently stir in baking soda until the mixture is light and foamy.

Using a rubber spatula that has been sprayed with cooking spray, scrape the mixture out onto the greased baking sheet. Smooth out to a thin layer and allow to cool for at least 1 hour.

Once cool, break the brittle into pieces and store in a well-sealed container.
