Description
These gooey Rolo brownies are an indulgent treat packed with chocolate and caramel flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (melted)
- ¾ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 1½ cups Rolo candies (unwrapped and chilled)
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce or regular caramel sauce
- ½ cup chopped Rolo candies
- Flaky sea salt (optional and to taste)
Instructions
- Place 1 1/2 cups unwrapped Rolos in a bowl and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before using to ensure they don’t melt while baking.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving overhang. Spray well with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
- Add the cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk to incorporate until smooth.
- In a separate large bowl, add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes, or until pale and creamy looking.
- Gradually pour the cocoa-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking well to incorporate.
- Add the flour and salt, and using a rubber-tipped spatula, fold to incorporate until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the chilled Rolos and fold to incorporate.
- Turn batter out into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 42-50 minutes, or until as done as you desire.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Evenly sprinkle the halved Rolos, drizzle with caramel sauce, optionally sprinkle with sea salt, slice, and serve cooled and set.
Notes
- These brownies are gooey and fudgy, best cooked until just done.
- For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife blade between slices.
- This brownie is not recommended to serve chilled as Rolos harden dramatically in the fridge.
