1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re anything like me, this is the perfect time to put on your favorite playlist and let the rhythm set the mood in the kitchen.
2. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it’s well-fitted. Crimp the edges for a decorative touch, just like my grandma used to do.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the condensed milk mixture evenly over the pie crust.
5. Layer the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, caramel bits, chopped pecans, and peanut butter chips over the condensed milk. This is where the magic happens, and you can really see all those vibrant colors and textures come together.
6. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. Let the pie cool completely before slicing into it.
7. Once cooled, slice, serve, and watch as your guests’ faces light up with delight.

Every time I make this pie, I’m reminded of those childhood moments when my siblings and I would sneak tastes of batter when our grandmother wasn’t looking. It’s that kind of playful spirit that makes this pie so special.
