Notes

Cook times may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage. Watch for a golden brown color near the end.
Reviewers have mentioned trouble with this recipe in recent years. I believe this is due to microwaves being made with higher wattages.
Newer higher wattage microwave should have 30 seconds cut from each cook time.
Note that the less you spread the lighter the brittle will be, or more air bubbles it will have, so if you prefer it like so then do as little spreading as possible. If you prefer it flatter then spread it out thin.
