Ingredients

1 pre-made graham cracker crust

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup crushed pretzels

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

1/2 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)

1 cup whipped cream (for topping)

1/4 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (for a savory twist)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, crushed pretzels, chopped pecans, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden-brown. The center should be set but still slightly gooey.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.

After cooling, spread whipped cream evenly over the top.

Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle crumbled bacon on top if using.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Slice and serve chilled; enjoy your unique Texas Trash Pie!
