Ingredients

1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup white sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes; stir and microwave for 3 1/2 minutes more. Stir in butter and microwave for 2 minutes.
Stir in baking soda and vanilla extract until foamy; pour onto the prepared baking sheet, then tilt the sheet back and forward to allow it to spread a little. Allow brittle to cool completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
