1. 1

   Microwave sugar, corn syrup and butter on high for 3 minutes in a 2-quart glass measuring bowl. Stir in paraffin wax to melt and add pecans. Mix well and microwave on high for 7-12 minutes, stirring several times during this cooking time. Add baking soda and stir quickly. Pour onto greased cookie sheet. Cool, then break into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container.

   Notes: Make brittle on a day that is not humid. You might have to experiment with the first batch to get an accurate cooking time for your microwave, but after you have the time adjusted the brittle is perfect every time.
