Microwave Peanut Brittle

growing up i remember making peanut brittle with my mom every year. as i got older and her ms started getting worse we switched to the microwave version below. it is actually easier and tastes oh so yummy! if you try this out or have used the microwave recipe before, let me know if you agree that it tastes the same if not better than the store brands!
