From Recipelink.com Chat Room Recipe Swap - 2001-08-25

9 inch unbaked pie shell
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 c light corn syrup
1 c coarsely crushed pretzels*
1 t vanilla extract

Cream butter until light and fluffy; add sugar gradually beating after each addition. Add eggs one at a time. One at a time, stir in corn syrup, pretzels, and vanilla. Fill pie shell with filling. Apply a band of foil to edge of pie to prevent overbrowning of crust edge. Bake 40-50 minutes at 375.

*Shake pretzels in colander to get off some of the salt before crushing them. You can add 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans to pretzels or you can use 1 cup of granola cereal only.
