Ensure your microwave-safe bowl is large enough, as the mixture will expand when the baking soda is added. Work quickly when spreading the brittle onto the baking sheet, as it will begin to harden rapidly. For a deeper caramel flavor, you can microwave the mixture for an additional 30 seconds during either of the microwave steps, but watch carefully to prevent burning. The finished brittle should be crisp and snap easily when broken. If it is still sticky, microwave for an additional 30 seconds at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
