Endearingly named for its plethora of pantry ingredients that you don’t often use together, there’s one thing we’re certain of: there’s absolutely nothing trashy about the Texas Trash Pie. In fact, the contrasting ingredients of this tasty treat are next-to-none with the sweet and salty flavors and the crunchy and creamy textures. Mmmmmm, we’re drooling just thinking about the rich chocolate, the salty pretzels, the sweet graham crackers, the tropical coconut shreds, the divine caramel bits, and of course, the signature Texas pecans. Plus, you can whip up this crowd-pleasing pie in one hour’s time. If this is truly trashy (it’s not), then we must be raccoons (we’re not).
