Did my first batch today. Didn't harden up so followed Tim's advice and folded it up, put it back in the cup, 5 more minutes in microwave, added a second hit of baking soda at the end and bam ..... brittle. So Good!! Already gone. Second batch up for tomorrow. Two pieces of advice for first timers. Keep cooking until the color turns from light cream to a caramel color. Stir in the baking soda quickly and only for 5 or 6 seconds before poring out onto the baking sheet. If you stir to long all the soda reaction will be gone and the brittle will end up flat instead of thick and bubbly.
