Chocolate Pie Recipe Ingredients

Pretzels – I like to use the mini twists to make the pretzel crust. Since they are mini, all you need to do is pour them into the bowl of your food processor and let it do all the work!
Butter – I prefer to use unsalted since the pretzels have so much salt already.
Brown Sugar – The brown sugar adds a sweet, rich molasses flavor to the crust. Make sure to pack it in to the measuring cup to get the right amount. If your brown sugar is a bit too hard to work with, scoop some on to a plate and pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds – it will soften right up.
Chocolate – Use chocolate melting wafers for the silkiest pie filling. Chocolate chips contain stabilizers that don’t melt as smooth.
Heavy Cream – For a creamy, rich, velvety pie texture. Use organic, if possible.
