I got this recipe online and it is my go-to instead of using the traditional graham cracker crust. It is sweet, salty and crunchy and has a unique flavor I think you will love.

How To Make sweet and salty pretzel crust

Step 1

Crush pretzels in a food processor until they are finely crushed. (I actually like them when they are a little bigger as shown in my picture as the crunch is better).

Step 2

Mix together crushed pretzels, brown sugar and butter until well combined.
Step 3

Form into a 9-inch pie plate and all up the sides as well
Step 4

Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Step 5

***Let crust cool for and hour or until COMPLETELY cool before you fill it*** Fill with your favorite dessert recipe! I have also included Candy Bar Pie as a recipe I make with this crust often.
