Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pie shell on a sheet pan to make it easier to move in and out of the oven. Set aside.
Place the graham crackers and pretzels into plastic storage bags. Seal and use the back of a measuring cup to crush into small pieces.
In a large bowl melt the butter in the microwave. Once melted to the bowl add the sweetened condensed milk, crushed graham crackers and pretzels, chocolate chips, coconut, pecans and caramel bits until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture evenly into the pie shell.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Let pie cool for 1 hour in the pan on a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Using a Homemade Pie Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Press pie crust into a deep dish 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edge. Line the pie crust with parchment paper. Add the pie weights over the parchment and blind bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes, then fill and proceed with the recipe. (Leave the oven on.)

- - When using a frozen pie crust, there's no need to thaw it or parbake it. I've included how to prepare a homemade pie shell in the recipe notes and in the process images.
- - Make your own pie crust using my Flaky Pie Crust Recipe.
- - Variations: Try different chocolate chips or switch to butterscotch or try swapping the pretzels with thick sliced potato chips. If removing any ingredients, replace with equal amounts of the other ingredients in the pie.
- - Store leftovers, covered, at room temperature for 3 days. You can store in the fridge for about 5 days but you’ll want to bring the pie up to room temperature before you eat it and also gently reheat in single servings in the microwave. This pie is best warm.
- - You can freeze this pie for up to 3 months. Wrap the pie in plastic then wrap it in tin foil before freezing. Thaw on the counter when you are ready to eat.
