1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold LAND O LAKES Butter
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water

Filling Ingredients:
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup

1 cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts
1/2 cup whole salted peanuts
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES Butter

1. Heat oven to 375øF. Combine flour and salt in large bowl; cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with fork just until flour is moistened. Shape into ball; flatten slightly.
2. Roll out ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch pie pan; unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan. Crimp or flute edge. Set aside.
3. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla and lemon juice in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in 1 cup chopped peanuts. Pour into prepared crust. Sprinkle top with 1/2 cup whole peanuts. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until top of pie feels dry. If browning too quickly, cover edge with 2-inch strip of aluminum foil. Cool completely. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
