parchment paper
Cookie sheet
Two Forks, or Spoons - to spread the candy
6 small dishes for ingredients
Airtight container - to store the Brittle

Ingredients

1 cup Sugar
½ cup Corn Syrup
¼ cup Water
1 cup Mini Pretzel Twists
⅛ teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Holiday M&M's

Instructions

First, measure out all your ingredients into small dishes you can pour into the Bowl of Candy, because the Candy will be begin to harden quickly, you'll need the ingredients ready to go to follow the recipe, and won't have time to get them together after you start. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
In a Microwave safe medium size bowl, add the Sugar, Corn Syrup, and water, and stir together.
Place in the Microwave for 6 minutes, on HIGH, stirring half way through, at 3 minutes.
Line a Cookie sheet with Parchment Paper, and set aside.
Remove from the Microwave, and add the Butter, and Microwave for 1 minute.
Remove Bowl, and stir in Mini Pretzels, salt, and Vanilla, and Microwave for 15 seconds.
Remove Bowl, and stir in Baking Soda - mixture will be light and foamy.
Quickly, pour the Brittle out onto the Parchment Paper lined Cookie sheet, and spread out into a thin layer with spoons, or forks - you'll need two utensils to spread the Brittle. Immediately, sprinkle the M & M's on top of the Brittle, lightly pressing them down into the Hot candy.
Let Brittle cool for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
When Brittle is cool, Break into pieces.
Serve, and Enjoy!

Notes

Store Brittle in an airtight container for up to 14 days. Place the pieces on waxed paper, or parchment paper to make sure they don't stick together, and place the paper between layers if you're stacking the pieces. Do Not store in the refrigerator. The Candy needs to be stored in a cool dry place - not next to the stove, and not in Sunlight, as it will melt and get sticky. Humidity will ruin the candy, so airtight containers are a must.
