Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup pretzels chopped
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-oz
- 1 frozen deep dish pie crust 9-inch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and a golden crust.
- Place the frozen deep dish pie crust in your 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and chopped pretzels until well mixed and crumbly.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie crust to form the base.
- Layer chocolate chips evenly over the crust, then add caramel bits, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans in layers.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk carefully over the layered ingredients, spreading evenly.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is set but slightly firm.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor and less sugar.
- Substitute coconut oil for butter to make a dairy-free version.
- Freeze the pie before baking for up to 2 months; bake from frozen adding extra time.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Try different nuts like walnuts or almonds for a unique twist.
