Cure every chocolate craving with these Amazing Rolo Brownies. Gooey chocolate brownies stuffed with chocolate caramel Rolos and topped with fudgy chocolate ganache.

These Amazing Rolo Brownies are completely and utterly over-the-top!

Outrageous even. But in the BEST kind of way. They are unapologetically chock-a-block full of chocolate and Rolos and all the good things in life.

If you love chocolate and caramel, get excited. Things are about to get delicious 😉

I recently shared my recipe for Rolo Rocky Road. And you all seemed to love it as much as I do. So I wanted to roll up my sleeves and create another Rolo dessert for you stat.

One that was equally as impressive. And since it’s been three weeks since we last talked brownies (remember, these?), I thought it was about time we were at it again.

I won’t lie. These brownies are rich with a capital R, but they are so unbelievably good. I’ll tell you why. It starts with a delicious brownie base that’s ridiculously fudgy. Like NEXT LEVEL.

Sometimes I like my brownies on the cakey side, but today it’s all about the fudge.

I even made sure I under baked them because gooey ooey brownies are my new thing.

OH but I forgot to tell you. There’s a whole block of Rolo chocolate hidden INSIDE the brownie batter.

And just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, the brownies are topped with a gooey chocolate ganache, made with rich dark chocolate.

It’s thick and sticky and works perfectly as a frosting.

Now we could’ve stopped there and things would already be magical. But I wanted more Rolos. So I added Rolos all over the top. That’s right, Rolos IN the brownie and on top.

So if you want truly indulge, you’ve got to get your hands on one of these Amazing Rolo Brownies.

You. Are. Welcome.

  Hi Rhiannon, thickened or heavy cream is high fat (35%) whipping cream. A regular high fat cream should work in this recipe.

These were seriously good. We doubled the recipe and baked at the same temp in a glass 9×13 in. pan, but used just 400g of Rolos because we didn’t have enough. It was still plenty. The ganache stayed a bit soft. I would’ve liked it to be a bit thicker, but it might be due to the extra 10 ml of cream I added in just to not waste the box. I thought it would be too sweet when I tasted the batter because I don’t like sweet things much, but the brownie base after baking was rich and cocoa-y without being overly sweet, and was well balanced by the topping. They’re the best brownies I’ve ever made. I will definitely make these again!

  Oh I just realized that we used powdered sugar instead of caster sugar! I quickly googled it while in the store and thought they were the same. They still came out great!

    I just wanted you to know that I made this recipe soon after my question to you and they were a definite hit. I warmed them up in the microwave for a few seconds and ate with some ice cream. this is easily the nicest brownie recipe I have found. I am going to make a customised set of brownies using mars bars on one end, Rolos on the other and cadburys creme eggs in the middle. can’t wait to see how they turn out.

Hi Jessica,
I followed your recipe and the brownie tasted amazing the only thing that was wrong was the rolos that were in the batter melted so you couldn’t tell they were in the batter or not.
Could you tell me how to stop the rolos from melting completely please..

  Hi Linda! Thanks for trying one of my recipes – I’m so glad you enjoyed the brownies. I’ve never had that problem with the Rolos melting, but my best suggestion would be freezing the Rolos for a few hours before baking them. That should help! Let me know if you try it ☺️

I just want to know what is caster sugar? Is it the regular white sugar here in the United States?

  Hi Gabby, thanks for your comment and great question! Do you live in Australia? Here I commonly use either Nestle Plaistowe Dark Chocolate or Cadbury Baking Dark Chocolate. I find both of those work well for mixing and melting. I hope that helps! And I hope you love these brownies! 🙂
