Microwave Pecan Brittle

This absolutely a easy and wonderful recipe. I made it with no problem. Just follow the directions as stated and it will come out perfectly. My husband loved it! Getting ready to make another batch to share Christmas Eve.

I used this recipe last Christmas to make microwave brittle.  No problems such as posted by the reviewer who changed the cook times.  I used the recipe as written and had great results; lots of compliments on the results.  The brittle looked very nice in the newer decorative mason jars, with a little ribbon...

Have you ever heard "if it sounds too good to be true, it is"? Well, I was so excited to find a recipe I could whip out without standing at the stove making my recipe! I followed exactly the directions, and decided I'd use the 5 minutes at the end, and not do the 7 minutes to make sure I err on the side of caution. Well..... I looked around at 4 minutes to peek and it was burnt pecans in a dark mess. So, if you risk making this recipe, and you have a newer'ish microwave, cut the time!! It's a huge waste of fresh pecans. :(.
