I love pretzels in sweet things and I thought this didn't come out well at all - waaay too salty. Maybe I used the wrong kind of pretzels?

The pretzels are a great idea but have made it twice now and can't get the crust to stop falling apart even with extra butter. Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is a great recipe! I had never had a pretzel crust until this. The salty / sweet / tangy / creamy effects all together are really good. I double the filling recipe and add in 8oz of cream cheese. So that everyone knows that it's a key lime pie, I also add in a couple drops of green food coloring. There is a little filling left over after I fill the crust but it's good because my family and I can't wait- so instead of getting into the pie, we dip pretzels into the leftover filling as a snack! It's awesome!

DH and I loved this pie! I agree with the other reviewers -- the smaller your pretzel crumb, the better. Very easy and delicious!

I used a different recipe for the filling because I wanted to bake it. However, the crust for this pie is just amazing. It makes the pie so much more interesting. I also used buttersnap pretzels which made it very tasty. I don't think I will ever make keylime pie with graham cracker crust again!

Extremely simple and easy to make. I was totally impressed by the fact that just lime juice and condensed milk alone would thicken enough for a filling.

I love this pie. Easy to make and tastes great. The only problem I ever have is that the crust doesn't quite stick together but I'll try extra butter and see if that works. I also sprinkle the extra crust filling on top of the pie and the family loves it.

This is very good. Like another viewer I was not sure about condensed milk and lime juice so I combined two recipes. I used a Key Lime recipe that uses eggs and you bake for 15 minutes along with the pretzel crust. Very good!

The crust was excellent except not having a food processor I just couldn't get the pretzel crumbs fine enough. The crust fell apart just like the previous poster said would happen. I was not crazy about the filling. It was very sticky and sweet since it was only sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. It needed something else to lighten it up -- maybe milk or cream cheese.

I never knew how easy key lime pie was! I doubled the mixture (one was not enough to even cover the crust). I liked the pretzel crust, too, after about three days. Before that, it tasted kind of stale Overall, a pretty good recipe. Update: tried it again with cream cheese...yuck! Much better the way it's written.

This is an easy and perfect summer dessert. Delicious pretzel crust, I don't think I'll make a graham cracker crust again! I have never changed a recipe in my life until now. I added 4 oz. of softened cream cheese to the mixture. This will for sure stay in my recipe file!

Tastes good, recipes needs to state that you have to crush the pretzels until they are TOTALLY crushed..like bread crumbs..found that out after my first crust fell apart. Also used fresh lime juice. YUM. ANd easy to make!

I made this in a 9x9 pan, and it was wonderful! I made the crust and filling as directed, then I spread the topping all over the filling and sprinkled fresh lime zest on top before serving. It looked beautiful and tasted great.

This is an awesome and super easy key lime pie to make! It tastes so good and has a nice texture, and the salty pretzel crust with the tangy, sweet lime filling is the perfect combo. To make it a bit healthier i used no fat sweetened condensed milk but it still turned out awesome!
