Ingredients

2 c finely crushed pretzel sticks
1/4 c light brown sugar
3/4 c melted butter(no substitutes)

Steps:

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).
2. Mix together crushed pretzels, brown sugar and butter until well combined.
3. Form into a 9-inch pie plate and all up the sides as well
4. Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
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.
