1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces

Preparing the crust: In a large bowl with mixer on medium speed, beat corn starch, flour, powdered sugar, butter and salt until mixture resembles course crumbs. Press firmly into bottom and 1/4 inches up sides of a 13X9X2 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Preparing the filling: In a large bowl combine eggs, corn syrup, sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla until well blended. Stir in peanuts. Pour over hot crust. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until filling is firm around edges and slightly firm in the center. Cool. Cut into bars, 2"X1 1/2". Makes approximately 36 bars.
