The appeal of Rolo-Packed Gooey Brownies lies in the extraordinary flavor profile that emerges from the harmonious blend of chocolate and caramel. The rich, fudgy texture of the brownies provides the perfect base for the sweet, creamy caramel found within each Rolo. As the brownies bake, the heat causes the Rolos to melt, creating pockets of gooey goodness that ooze out with every bite. This delightful contrast between the dense chocolate brownie and the silky caramel creates an unforgettable taste sensation that is both decadent and comforting.

Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)

1 cup Rolo candies, unwrapped

Sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Prepare the Rolo Candies: Halve the unwrapped Rolo candies. This helps distribute the caramel filling evenly throughout the brownies.

              Assemble the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the halved Rolo candies over the top. Cover with the remaining brownie batter and top with the remaining Rolo pieces (you can gently press them in).

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean). Be careful not to overbake!

                  Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20-30 minutes. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before cutting into squares.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve warm for an extra gooey treat. These brownies are delicious on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
