Microwave Pecan Brittle

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. :(.
