1/2 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
3 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Combine syrup, peanut butter, salt, butter and vanilla. Beat until blended. Gradually add sugar, making a very stiff mixture. Turn out on board; knead until well blended, working in pecans (optional).

Press into a buttered 8-inch square pan. Chill until firm. Cut into 2-inch squares.
