🍫 Rolo Brownies: A Gooey Chocolate-Caramel Delight 🍬
These rich, fudgy brownies with hidden pockets of gooey caramel from Rolo candies are a crowd-pleasing dessert. Easy to make and even easier to devour, they’re perfect for any occasion!
📋 Ingredients
- For the Brownies:
- 1 box of your favorite brownie mix (plus the required ingredients: water, vegetable oil, and eggs as specified on the box)
- 1 bag of Rolo candies, unwrapped 🍬
- Optional Additions:
- Sea salt for sprinkling 🧂
- Cooking spray or extra oil for greasing the pan
📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (or follow the temperature instructions on the brownie mix box). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the Batter:
- Mix the brownie batter according to the package instructions in a large bowl.
3️⃣ Layer the Brownies:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Place the unwrapped Rolo candies over the batter, spacing them evenly.
4️⃣ Add the Top Layer:
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Rolos, ensuring they are completely covered. Smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
5️⃣ Bake the Brownies:
- Follow the baking time indicated on your brownie mix box, typically 30-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
6️⃣ Cool and Garnish:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. For a sweet-and-savory touch, sprinkle sea salt over the top.
7️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
- Cut into squares and serve. These brownies are best enjoyed slightly warm to savor the gooey caramel center!
✨ Notes and Tips
- Add-Ons: Drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra indulgence.
- Storage: Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Make it Your Own: Swap Rolos for other caramel-filled candies for a fun twist.
🛠️ Common Mistakes and Fixes
1. Brownies too dry:
- Avoid overbaking. Check a few minutes before the suggested bake time ends.
2. Rolos sinking to the bottom:
- Toss Rolos in a bit of flour before layering to prevent sinking.
3. Difficult to cut cleanly:
- Chill the brownies slightly before cutting and use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean edges.
