Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 1½ cups graham crackers chopped (about 6 sheets)
- 1 cup pretzels roughly chopped (chop first, then measure)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup caramel bits
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard pie dish.
- Line the prepared pie dish with the unbaked pie crust. Place the crust in the freezer until ready to fill.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped graham crackers, pretzels, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and caramel bits. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour the melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetened condensed milk over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
- Remove the pie crust from the freezer and evenly spread the filling into the crust, pressing it down gently to create an even layer.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center appears set.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
