Ingredients:

  • 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust (9 or 10-inch)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pretzels, coarsely crushed
  • 1 cup graham crackers, coarsely crushed
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup pecan pieces
  • 1 cup Kraft caramel bits
  • 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet to make transferring to the oven easier.
  2. Assemble the Layers : Spread the semisweet chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Add the crushed pretzels, graham crackers, shredded coconut, and pecan pieces in layers. Sprinkle the caramel bits over the top, ensuring an even distribution.
  3. Add the Wet Ingredients : Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the pie filling. Pour the sweetened condensed milk slowly over the entire pie, allowing it to seep through the layers.
  4. Bake the Pie : Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
  5. Cool and Serve : Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure it sets properly. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
