10-Minute Microwave Peanut Brittle (Video)

Microwave Peanut Brittle recipe is a simple recipe that comes together in 10-minutes with no fuss and looks like you spent all day working on it! It makes an excellent gift this season!

We absolutely love peanuts and No-Bake Avalanche Cookies really take the cake for being easy and delicious!

We all have those moments where we simply need an easy sugar fix, and there are few homemade candies out there that cover all the bases quite like microwave peanut brittle.

Easy to make? Absolutely.

Sweet but not too sweet? Check.

Perfect for curing a crunchy food craving? Truth.

This low-hassle easily become my favorite go-to candy. Especially this time of year, when I always seem to have extra peanuts on hand.

Oh, and hi! My name is Chrisy and I’m one of the new voices over here at . This is actually the second recipe I’ve shared here, but last time around I was so busy talking about food that I forgot to introduce myself. Typical foodie thing to do, amirite? I’m sure you know how it is. Going forward I’ll be bringing you fun and easy eats once a month, but in the meantime, you can find me fawning over good eats Homemade Hooplah.

So, where was I?

Oh, that’s right - the caramel-sweet goodness that is peanut brittle. And if that wasn’t already good enough, there’s also a festive dash of nutmeg-and-cinnamon that helps kick it up a notch.

This brittle is so worth the 10 minutes it takes to make.

HELPFUL TIPS TO MAKE MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE:

• Working with heated sugar can be tricky. It takes a bit for sugar to reach the correct temp, but once it does and begins to turn color, it doesn’t take much longer for the sugar to burn (and ruin your candy). To help avoid this, prepare and measure all ingredients in advance so that you can work quickly. Also, when heating the sugar, always start at the low-end of the heat times and work your way up, watching for the sugar to turn the correct light gold color. Sugar will continue to cook once removed from the microwave, so if you’re unsure, it’s better to remove the bowl too early rather than too late.
• Even if you’ve covered everything with cooking spray, you’re bound to get some hard candy stuck to your bowls or utensils. If this happens, soak them in a mixture of hot water, dish soap, and white vinegar for one hour. The candy will either dissolve or easily break off with light pressure.
• Because you’re using cooking spray, the finished candy may feel a little greasy. If it does, use a paper towel to lightly dab the candy to remove excess oil before storing it.
• Store peanut brittle in a dry, sealed container at room temperature. If candy needs to be stacked in the container, add sheets of wax layers between the layers.
• If you enjoyed this peanut brittle, you might also love homemade caramel popcorn. It has similar ingredients and is another fun gifting item!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE:

• Large, microwave-safe bowl with a handle- I use my 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup for tasks like this. And it is the best bowl for making and pouring pancakes.
• Jelly Roll Pans (baking sheets with sides) - I have a stack of these! I use them for everything from cooking, baking, barbecuing, crafts and more!

Enjoy!

Microwave Peanut Brittle

Microwave Peanut Brittle recipe is a simple recipe that comes together in 10-minutes with no fuss and looks like you spent all day working on it! It makes an excellent gift this season!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
2. Spray a baking sheet generously with cooking spray, then set aside.
3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Use a spatula to stir until combined. The mixture will be very sticky and difficult to stir near the end; this is okay.
4. Microwave sugar syrup mixture on HIGH for 4 minutes, then stir. Return bowl to microwave and heat for another 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture turns a light golden color. Be careful not to overheat; a dark brown hue means the sugar has burned.
5. Remove bowl from microwave and quickly begin to add the following ingredients: vanilla, butter, the prepared spices from step 1, and the peanuts. Stir the mixture so that all the ingredients are combined. The mixture will lighten and may rise or appear "fluffy.”
6. Spray rim of the bowl with more cooking spray, then pour the brittle mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Working quickly, use a spatula or a spoon to smooth the peanut brittle out in a layer roughly the same thickness as the peanuts.
7. Let peanut brittle cool and harden for at least 1 hour. Once cooled and firm, use your hands to break the brittle into sizes of your choice (usually 2x2 inch in size)

COOK'S NOTES

1. Because working with heated sugar can be tricky and temperamental, it is best to make this recipe only for the listed portion. Doubling this recipe is not recommended.

Orange Honey Glazed Ham

Best Ever Orange Honey Glazed Ham recipe starts with a bone in ham and a glaze that will absolutely blow your mind. A few simple ingredients come together to create the most glorious ham you have ever tasted. It is sweet, tangy and utterly divine.

It is truly the best ham we have ever eaten. It's had rave reviews from everyone who has tried it. In fact my husband has eaten so much ham over the last month that I am pretty sure he is going to turn into a ham sandwich.

Interestingly, I just recently found out that my husband LOVES ham. You might think this is an odd thing to discover after 19 years together, but alas I honestly I had no clue.

Last month we were talking about what we wanted for Easter and he blurted out "why don't you ever cook ham"? Well, that was all it took, 1 month and 4 hams later we now have a family favorite. I guess you could say that I made up for lost time.

Looking for the perfect ham, I turned to our friends at Jones Dairy Farm.  They are all-natural, gluten free and offer a full range of products that are still made the old fashioned way.

And that my friends makes for the best ham we have ever tasted, hands down. I know you are anxious to try it and believe me, this ham will be the centerpiece of our table.

Caramelized bits of orange rind from the marmalade speckle the top of the ham and compliment it with bright flavor.

Marmalade combined with honey and brown sugar makes it perfectly sweet and the consummate compliment to the hickory smoked ham, with a subtle hint of warmth from the cloves and a touch of spice from the mustard this is honestly the best ham you will ever eat. Can't wait to get your hands on it, I know!

Being this was my first (four) time(s) cooking ham, I guess I should mention it was also my first time carving a ham so I got some great pointers from this fantastic video.

French Toast Casserole w/ Recipe Video

French Toast Casserole is a make ahead breakfast casserole that you can toss in the oven while you get ready for the day. Make this recipe for a delicious breakfast that your family will thank you for.

This recipe is an old family favorite that was originally shared with you 6 1/2 years ago. It is DEFINITELY a reader favorite.

So, we decided to share it with you again. We enjoy this breakfast on holidays and sometimes just because. It has truly become a tradition that we look forward to.

Special occasion meals

Father's Day is such a special day for us, as it is for most people. 

Take the day to really celebrate the important man in your life! Make a special breakfast to remind him just how special he is.

My husband is a wonderful father to our Munchkin, and an amazing husband as well. We spend the day taking part in our favorite family activities.  So, I like to start off with a very special breakfast. 

By special, I mean out of the ordinary for us.  We tend to have a very healthy breakfast each day. Once in a while, we go out on a limb, making buttermilk pancakes on a Sunday.

Well, I have been making Sugar Cookie French Toast for special occasions for quite some time.  Any kind of french toast is my husbands favorite. 

French Toast Casserole

So for this special occasion, I decided to try this French Toast Casserole I have been drooling over for quite some time. 

I have to tell you it is so decadent, so flavorful, so divine....  There are barely words! 

The bread has a consistency like the most incredible bread pudding.  The custard mixture bakes into the bread, and the topping is such a delightful treat. 

You can leave the maple syrup off this french toast.  I think it would spoil the flavor.  It is THAT good!!!

Updated 5/10/14:  We love this recipe so much we have made it countless times over the last 4 years.  I have made some changes and added several notes to the bottom of the recipe.  Be sure to check out the notes.

Helpful tips for making French toast casserole

How to prevent soggy French toast

• We have been enjoying this recipe for 6 years.  I have made a few changes.  There is less milk/cream than in the original recipe, as the bread is sometimes too moist for my taste.

Substitute for half and half

• Half and half is a dairy product found in the USA.  You can substitute half cream and half milk for half-and-half.  You can also use any combination of all cream to all milk as long as you are adding 1-1/2 cups total.

Praline topping

• In the original casserole recipe, the praline topping included corn syrup.  It really doesn't need it, so it is no longer in the recipe.

Serving suggestions

• This french toast casserole is amazing served with fresh berries instead of the praline topping if you are looking to lighten it up. 

Freezing the casserole

• The leftovers freeze VERY well!  We eat about 1/4 of the pan.  I freeze the leftovers in 3 containers, so when we want a special breakfast I just thaw it and pop it in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes.  Perfect.

KITCHEN TOOLS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

• 9 x 13 Baking Dish - I have my favorites and this set is one of them. The 9x13 is perfect for casseroles and the smaller size is awesome for making 1/2 a casserole recipe.
• Mixing Bowls - I like a variety of mixing bowls and prep bowls and this set has them all.
• Whisk - I have had this set for over 10 years and it is still as good as the day I bought it. With 3 sizes there is a whisk for every job.
• Bread Knife - I love a good bread knife. It is one of my essential knives. This one, I have been using for a decade! I also love to slice tomatoes with it.
  

Enjoy!

Make Ahead French Toast Casserole

Prep the night before and throw it in the oven while you are getting ready for the day. Easy breakfast recipe that your family will thank you for!

Ingredients

• butter (for preparing baking dish)
• 1 loaf French bread
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste if you want to really jazz it up)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Praline Topping

• 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Prepare a 9"x13" baking dish by generously buttering the entire inside of the dish.  Set the baking dish aside.
2. Slice the French bread, on the bias approximately 1-inch thick. Arrange slices in your prepared baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. Set dish aside.   In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
3. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure they are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. I like to make sure all my slices are good and coated.  Even dunking them in the mixture sometimes. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
4. The next day, preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, prepare the praline topping by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to combine.  Scoop out praline topping and make 8 dollops of topping.  Then spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread (like you are icing a cake).
5. Bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
6. Serve and enjoy!

Christmas Sugar Cookies (With VIDEO)

Christmas sugar cookies (also known as cut out cookies) are a family tradition. This simple recipe for the perfect dough stays put (doesn't spread) and tastes amazing! A sweet cookie that is slightly crispy on the edges and soft and chewy throughout with the fabulous flavors of vanilla and almond. Not to mention, aren't they the prettiest cookies you have ever seen?

The days are escaping quickly which is a pretty good indication that Christmas is almost here.  Another sign would be the four batches of sugar cookie dough that are chilling in the fridge waiting to be rolled and cut. Along with the Best Ever Sugar Cookie Icing.

Cookies to ship, cookies to go into Christmas gifts and also ones to fill the gratitude baskets we give out each year (to the people who have touched our lives - mail carrier, bank teller, mechanic, neighbor, cashier at Wal-mart.  Anyone who has been special to us this year).

No basket, gift or package would be complete without my sugar cookies (so I am told).  My munchkin has started enjoying in this tradition already.

She looks adorable in her apron, holding a giant rolling pin and rolling out the dough.  Helping cut it out and the most fun has been decorating. But, we will talk more about that later.

This is one of the many popular sugar cookie recipes out there.  More than the base of the recipe, the method will really make a difference.

Chilling the dough before it is rolled and again after it is cut, gives you beautiful and crisp lines on your cookies.

If you have a hard time with sticking try a non stick silicone baking sheet liner with parchment paper on top.  It works perfectly for me.

But, if your cookies do come out of the oven a little poofy, use a flat metal spatula to gently press down on the tops while they are cooling on the baking sheet.

Dough keeps in the fridge for 2 weeks and in the freezer for at least 2 months (from my personal experience).

Good luck and happy baking!  With love from our Simply Delicious kitchen to yours!

Helpful Tips to make Christmas Sugar Cookies:

• Our favorite baker told us years ago that the trick to cut-out cookies keeping their shape was to skip the leavening. Now they are perfect every time.
• We got this brilliant tip for shipping cookies from our friend who owns a cookie shop, and it works so well. Package the cookies individually and tape them to a piece of cardboard. Wrap the cardboard in bubble wrap. You can stack multiple layers of cookies.
• If you are sensitive to almond, you can use all vanilla extract.

What you will need to make Christmas Sugar Cookies:

• Star Cookie Cutter - this is the cookie cutter I have been making snowflake cookies with for over 10 years.
  
• Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter the size of this cutter is impressive and the comfort grip makes for cookie cutting fun without sore hands.
  
• Decorating Squeeze Bottle are perfect for icing cookies. Great for the whole family.
  
• Baking Sheets - Jelly Roll Pans (baking sheets with sides) - used for everything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.
• Gel Food Coloring is perfect for baked goods and coloring frosting.
• Silpat Mats  are perfect for everything. We use them for rolling out doughs, baking cookies, biscuits and other desserts. They are also great for transporting pans. Just line a baking sheet and place your baking dishes on the mat. It provides a non-slip surface for traveling.
• Cooling Racks - 

Enjoy!

Christmas Sugar Cookies (Cut Out Cookies)

Christmas sugar cookies (also known as cut out cookies) are a family tradition. This simple recipe for the perfect dough stays put (doesn't spread) and tastes amazing! A sweet cookie that is slightly crispy on the edges and soft and chewy throughout with the fabulous flavors of vanilla and almond. Not to mention, aren't they the prettiest cookies you have ever seen?

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 3-4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Best Ever Sugar Cookie Icing
• Pearl Sugar Balls (dragees)

Instructions

1. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar, on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
2. Add the eggs, vanilla and almond.  Beat until combined. Add the salt and 3 cups of flour; beat until you have a smooth dough. If the dough is sticky (meaning when you touch it and pull your fingers away the dough sticks to you), add more flour a tablespoon at a time until it comes together. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about one hour or until firm enough to roll.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
4. Remove half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. (Keep turning the dough as you roll, making sure the dough does not stick to the counter.)  Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to baking sheet.
5. Place the baking sheets with the unbaked cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to chill the dough which prevents the cookies from spreading and losing their shape while baking. Note: If you are not going to frost the baked cookies, you can sprinkle the unbaked cookies with sparkling sugar at this point.
6. Bake the cookies for about 9-11 minutes (depending on size) or until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Decorate the cookies with Best Ever Sugar Cookie Icing if desired. Be sure to let the icing dry completely before storing. (This may take several hours or overnight.)

Best Tasting Sugar Cookie Icing (With VIDEO)

Best Tasting Sugar Cookie Icing - 4 ingredients and 5 minutes! People have been begging for this frosting recipe for years. Now you have it!

Chad and I were married a few days before Christmas, 11 years ago, in a dreamy Winter Wonderland wedding.

We had snowflakes and icicles hung everywhere and we were lucky enough to have the coldest day of the year (in Phoenix).

We set up a hot cocoa and cookie table in lieu of appetizers and everyone commented on the cookies! So, needless to say after our wedding we decided that the perfect thank you would be snowflake cookies.

Ever since then I have been on a mission to create the perfect cookie.  I had the most incredible cookie recipe but I worked for a few years to create the perfect recipe for the icing.

Finally, after so many requests we are sharing it with you today.  Perfectly sweetened and flavored with almond to give it an extra something.

With only 4 ingredients and about 5 minutes, you can whip this icing up. It dries with a gorgeous sheen and tastes amazing!

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

8 chapters with a total of 82 quick and easy recipes that are bursting with flavor!!!

Helpful Tips to make Best Tasting Sugar Cookie Icing:

• The icing will dry hard. It can take up to overnight before I would recommend stacking them. I store mine on cookie sheets tented with foil to keep the cookie bottoms from drying out while they are drying.
• You absolutely can substitute vanilla extract (or any other extract). Keep in mind, it will give your icing a slightly off white hue but if you are coloring it anyway it won't matter.
• This icing will keep for several weeks on the countertop, in a sealed container. I actually keep mine much longer than that.
• We have received some questions about cloudy spots on the iced cookies. I have never had to deal with spots, I live in Arizona and it is a very dry climate and we use air conditioning to cool (which is also very dry). I know that too much humidity can cause icing to get spots. Do you live in a humid climate or use a swamp cooler? I would try a dehumidifier while you are making cookies to help the issue or stick to white icing (actually add white color to the icing) or try working with thicker icing. Or try using thicker icing. That will remove some of the water content and allow the cookies to dry faster. Also make sure the cookies are 100% dry before closing them in a container.

What you will need to make Best Tasting Sugar Cookie Icing:

• Star Cookie Cutter-
• Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter-
• Decorating Squeeze Bottle-
• Baking Sheets-
• Gel Food Coloring-
• Silpat Mats-
• Cooling Racks-

4. We have received some questions about cloudy spots on the iced cookies. I have never had to deal with spots, I live in Arizona and it is a very dry climate and we use air conditioning to cool (which is also very dry). I know that too much humidity can cause icing to get spots. Do you live in a humid climate or use a swamp cooler? I would try a dehumidifier while you are making cookies to help the issue or stick to white icing (actually add white color to the icing) or try working with thicker icing. Or try using thicker icing. That will remove some of the water content and allow the cookies to dry faster. Also make sure the cookies are 100% dry before closing them in a container.

Christmas cookies are my jam! I love how fun they are and honestly just about everyone I know is happy to receive them so I can make a ton for gifts!

I have 20 cookie sheets just for the occasion. LOL. Okay, truth be told I was going to start a home bakery business at one time and started purchasing supplies.

The cookie sheets came in handy though, so I kept them. Although I prefer cooking over baking these days, I love love love cookie making. It is cathartic.

I love to make cookies and package them up into adorable baskets, boxes or gift bags and surprise those people in my life who have touched my life in some way.

It could be anyone from the bank teller that is especially patient with me when I am so frazzled or my landscaper or family in Florida. I love gifting sweets.

My cut out cookies are the number one sweet that we gift. So, I make these cookies with the same cookie dough. Smart, huh?

Christmas Pinwheel Cookies

Christmas Pinwheel Sugar Cookies are fun festive and incredibly easy to make. This simple recipe will have you enjoying these tasty treats in no time. It is so easy you can use your favorite recipe or mine. Even store bought dough will work in a pinch.

Ingredients

• Best Ever Sugar Cookie Dough (or your favorite)
• red food coloring (gel is best)
• Christmas nonpareil sprinkles (they are the little balls)

Instructions

1. Separate dough into 2 halves. Add red food coloring to one half. Add 1/2 of your cookie dough to a stand mixer and add red food coloring until your mixture reaches your desired color. You can also knead food coloring into dough until completely combined if you do not have a stand mixer. 
2. Place red cookie dough on parchment paper. Roll red cookie dough to about 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Set aside. 
   Place plain cookie dough on parchment paper (or wax paper). Roll plain cookie dough out to about 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Stack cookie dough sheets on top of one another with the parchment on the outside. 
3. Remove the top parchment and roll over the dough gently with a rolling pin (to help the 2 doughs become one). Begin on one end and roll the cookie dough into a log (removing the remaining paper as you go). If dough is too soft to work with, refrigerate for 30 minutes and then try again.
4. Once dough is formed into a log, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. Meanwhile: pour sprinkles into a cookie sheet. Unwrap dough and roll into sprinkles. Rewrap and refrigerate 3 hours to overnight.
6. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 
7. Slice cookies and place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake according to your sugar cookie directions or until the cookies feel set. 
8. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy!
