Ingredients

24 Rolo’s cut in half and frozen
2 oz dark chocolate bar chopped, 60 grams
6 tablespoons cocoa powder 36 grams
½ cup boiling water
1 ½ cups granulated sugar or 150 grams
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour or 187.5 grams
¾ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Cut Rolos in half and place on a cookie sheet in the freezer for about 20 minutes before you start making your batter.
Preheat oven to 350F and prepare an 8x8 metal pan with parchment paper leaving the sides high for easily removal.
In a large bowl add chopped chocolate and cocoa powder followed by hot water and whisk to melt.
Add in granulated sugar, oil, eggs and pure vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk in flour and salt until combined.
Pour about ⅓ of batter into prepared pan, then place the Rolo’s in (lined 6x8) and fill with remaining batter and bake for 24 minutes.
Cool completely in the pan then remove and slice.

Notes

Try this recipe using your favorite boxed brownie mix for an extra shortcut.
When the brownies are done, the edges will be set, but the middle will still be jiggly (but not wet). You don’t need to cook them until the center is fully set, or they will become dry and crumbly.
Freeze the Rolos thoroughly so they don’t get lost in the brownie batter.
