Microwave Nut Brittle - Tasty and Easy

So I was being nosy last weekend while at G-Mom's, my husbands grandma, house, and I found this recipe. I think she said it was given to her at an AARP luncheon I do remember that she said it was some of the best brittle she had ever had.

It's so simple and really good. Thankfully, she doesn't mind my poking around her kitchen. I guess it's something she is used to with 6 kids growing up searching for snacks and making goodies of their own. She is a patient woman letting all that mess go on in there!

*Please be watchful, the sugar boils up when the vanilla is added. As with all candy making, please be extra careful with the hot sugar!
