- 1 2/3 cups pretzel finely crushed pretzels (2 1/2 – 3 cups of whole pretzels)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Filling:
3 large egg yolks
1 (14- ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup key lime juice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 pan with foil and coat lightly with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a food processor or blender pulverize the pretzels until they are a fine crumb. (You don’t want dust, but you don’t want chunks or it won’t stay together)
- In a large bowl stir together your pretzel crumbs, butter, salt, and sugar.
- Press the mixture firmly into your prepared pan and slightly up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden. Let the crust cool while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice.
- Pour the mixture into the warm crust.
- Bake for 12-15minutes, or until just set.
- Allow the bars to cool until room temperature, and then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or overnight.
