Pecan-Free Pretzel Pie

This pie came about as a result of my son having a serious allergy to nuts. I just couldn't imagine the holidays without pecan pie, so I scoured the Internet and discovered the idea of using pretzels instead of pecans from others, but made the filling as authentic as possible by playing with the ingredients until I came up with the perfect mix. This pie is better than any pecan pie you have ever tasted, and you won't even miss the nuts. The pretzels give it an addictive salty-sweet crunch that I look forward to all year!
