52 weeks of Pinterest: week 8...a delicious treat!

I love to bake but don't usually have lots of time to do so.  Last Thursday when I was browsing Pinterest I came across this little treat!  I have seen MANY yummy looking recipes on Pinterest but none of them have made my mouth water so much so, that I went out and bought the ingredients to make it right away....until Thursday!  We were in Winston at my mom's Thursday night, so after picking the hubs up from work we stopped by the grocery store and I whipped up this little pie that night!  It's called a pretzle bottomed peanut butter cup cookie pie....but it might as well be called a sweet and salty slice of heaven!  :)  I tried to document the process for you...  :)  enjoy!

all the ingredients (minus the 2 eggs....forgot to get those out for the picture!)

Crush the pretzels, mix with melted butter and sugar, press into pie dish, bake for 8-10 minutes

Make filling with butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla, chocolate chips and mini Reese's cups

Add filling to the pretzel shell and bake 30-35 minutes

mmmmmm!  perfect mix of sweet and salty!
The only thing I think I would do differently next time is make 2 pretzel crusts and divide the filling among the 2 pies....it was really thick and really rich with all the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups in one pie....but OH SO YUMMY!  It tastes really good the next day too (even for breakfast!  which I may or may not have done.....*wink wink*)  Let me know if you try it!

Thanks for stopping by!  :)
