Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerator pie crust
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup corn syrup
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher slat
  • 2 cups pecans
  • ¾ cup mini pretzel sticks
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 egg for an egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Roll out one dough disc (refrigerate or freeze for later). Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough. Refrigerate until the filling is ready.

  • Place the pretzels in a resealable bag. Using a rolling pin, break up the pretzels into bite size pieces - this is a fun job for the kiddos!
    ¾ cup mini pretzel sticks
  • Whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, maple syrup, butter, vanilla and sugar, cinnamon and salt until well combined. Then, stir in the pecans, pretzels and dark chocolate chips.

  • Bake for 30 minutes, then cover with tinfoil and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Set the pie plate on a cooling rack and cool until room temperature. It's very important to let this set up - otherwise you'll have a mess on your hands.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream - so good! Be sure to store leftovers (if there are any!) in the refrigerator.
