Ingredients:
- 1 box of your favorite brownie mix (and the ingredients it requires – typically water, vegetable oil, and eggs)
- 1 bag of Rolo candies (unwrapped – I know, it’s the hardest part!)
- Optional: Sea salt, for sprinkling on top
- Optional: Cooking spray or additional oil for greasing the pan
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box.
- Prepare Brownie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box. This typically involves combining the brownie mix with water, vegetable oil, and eggs until well mixed and smooth.
- Grease Baking Pan:
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or additional oil to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Layer Brownie Batter:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Add Rolo Candies:
- Arrange the Rolo candies evenly over the layer of brownie batter in the pan. You can press them slightly into the batter to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Cover with Remaining Batter:
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the layer of Rolo candies, covering them completely and smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the brownie mix box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Optional: Sprinkle with Sea Salt:
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle the top of the brownies with sea salt immediately after removing them from the oven. This adds a delicious contrast to the sweetness of the caramel.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment!
Cook Notes and Variations:
- Fudgy vs. Cakey Brownies: Adjust the baking time according to your preference for fudgy or cakey brownies. For fudgy brownies, bake them for slightly less time, while for cakey brownies, bake them for slightly longer.
- Extra Toppings: Get creative with additional toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or marshmallows for added texture and flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free brownie mix to make these Rolo Brownies suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
Keto and Low-Carb Versions:
- Keto Version: Substitute the brownie mix with a keto-friendly brownie mix made with almond flour or coconut flour, and use sugar-free chocolate candies in place of Rolo candies. Ensure all other ingredients are keto-friendly and free from added sugars.
- Low-Carb Version: Use a low-carb brownie mix or make your own using almond flour or coconut flour, and use sugar-free chocolate candies or dark chocolate chunks in place of Rolo candies. Be sure to check the labels of all ingredients to ensure they are low in carbohydrates and free from added sugars.

Q: Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a boxed mix? A: Yes, you can use homemade brownie batter if you prefer. Simply prepare your favorite brownie batter recipe and follow the same layering instructions with the Rolo candies.
