Rolo chocolate brownies

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 😉
Rolo chocolate brownies

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.

Rolo chocolate brownies

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.

An amazing chocolate brownie with Rolos baked IN the brownie and on top with a gooey dark chocolate ganache.


Ingredients

Chocolate brownie

  • 115 grams (1/2 cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) good quality dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100 grams (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 50 grams (1/4 cup) brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 70 grams (1/2 cup) plain flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) Rolo chocolate

Chocolate ganache

  • 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) good quality dark chocolate
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) thickened or heavy cream
  • 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) Rolo chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 C (320 F). Grease and line a square 8 inch cake tin with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang. Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Leave to cool slightly.

Pour half of the mixture into the prepared tin. Place Rolo pieces on top. Pour over remaining  batter and very gently smooth over the top, ensuring Rolos are hidden.

  4. Place chocolate and cream in a small heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy. Leave to sit for 10 minutes or until thickens slightly.
  5. Pour over the top of the brownie and spread out to form one layer. Press Rolo chocolate on top. Cut and serve

      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! 🙂
