For best results, use a microwave-safe bowl that is larger than you think you need, as the mixture will expand significantly when the baking soda is added. Watch the brittle carefully during the final stages of microwaving to prevent burning. The color should be a deep amber, but not black. If you prefer a less sweet brittle, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly. However, be aware that this may affect the final texture. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as cashews or almonds, for a unique twist. Ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best foaming action, which contributes to the brittle's airy texture.
