Description
Fudgy Rolo Brownies are ultra fudgy, soft, and gooey brownies loaded with Rolo candies. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a decadent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (melted, salted or unsalted)
- 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 (or more to taste)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce or regular caramel sauce
- ½ cup chopped Rolo candies
- Flaky sea salt (optional and to taste)
Instructions
- Chill 1½ cups unwrapped Rolos in the fridge for 30-60 minutes. Halve ½ cup of Rolos for the topping and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute.
- Add cocoa powder to melted butter and whisk until smooth.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
- Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until pale and creamy.
- Gradually pour the cocoa-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking well.
- Add flour and salt, folding gently until just combined.
- Add the chilled Rolos and fold to incorporate.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 42-50 minutes, checking early for doneness.
- Let brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with halved Rolos, drizzle with caramel sauce, and optionally sprinkle with sea salt before slicing.
- Do not serve chilled as Rolos harden in the fridge.
Notes
- These brownies are very gooey even when fully cooked.
- Check for doneness early as baking time may vary.
- For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife between slices.
