Rolo Brownies

What’s better than a chewy brownie? A popable chewy brownie bite stuffed with a Rolo then drizzled with chocolate and caramel. This is rich, really rich-a calorie pig.

Rolo Brownie Bites

Let’s just all be thankful Fall is here and we can pile on the clothes with the pounds to stay warm. I’m a firm believer that a little extra padding never hurt anyone. Like I tell Matt, love the pudge—it’s where all happiness radiates from.

If you haven’t guessed, I like sugar—ALOT. Next to sugar, is chocolate, then butter. Combine the three and mix it into my favorite form and you’ll find a brownie. And that is pretty much why you see so many brownie recipes here.

I hope you enjoy this brownie-meets-candy mash-up as much as we did in my home! Happy Monday to the start of another awesome week.

A few notes:

• I used Wilton’s Brownie Bites Pan to make these. If you don’t have one, a mini cupcake pan will work just as well. If you have neither use an 8-inch pan.
• To stripe the tops like the picture I used caramel sauce.
• For the brownie base, I used Alton Brown’s Brownie recipe. Yes, can you believe it-I deviated from my stand-by brownie recipe from Alice Medrich.

Rolo Brownie Bites

Makes about 48 brownie bites | Preparation Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter wells or 8-inch square pan.

• 6 1.7oz Rolo pack of candy

Chocolate Covering:

• 1/3 cups dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions:

To make the brownies:

1. Place egg in a stand mixer bowl, fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars mix to combine. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.

If you are using an 8-inch square pan place Rolos on top of and press into  brownie mixture and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the toothpick method: a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. If using brownie bite pan or mini cupcake pan, cool for 5 minutes then remove brownies. If using an 8-inch pan, let cool before slicing.

1. Place chocolate and butter in a heat proof bowl over (not on) simmering water. Gently stir until melted.
