Make this incredibly easy Texas Trash Pie, a crowd-pleasing dessert loaded with chocolate, pretzels, pecans, and a gooey caramel filling. It is a perfect sweet and salty treat for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) frozen deep dish pie crust
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup caramel topping (like ice cream sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, pecans, crushed pretzels, and marshmallows. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the caramel topping until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is coated evenly. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the entire mixture into the unbaked frozen pie crust. Spread the filling out evenly.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden brown. The center may still look slightly soft.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling process is important for setting the pie.
  8. Once cooled, chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
