This pie reminds me of rocky road ice cream, but with coconut. It's delicious. I wouldn't change a single thing about the filling. But I have to admit the crust was just a little crumbly. I think using just a bit more butter would make it hold together much better. The idea of using pretzels is genius. Love it.

I liked the pretzel crust and the flavor of this pie. It was indeed creamy and chocolatey and coconuty. The marshmellows were a nice addition. The overall consistancy of the pie, was not as "airy" as I thought it would be. Next time, I would probably leave out the extra coconut. Nice dessert, overall.
