- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract;
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the halved Rolo candies.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and ½ cup of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a boil without stirring, and simmer until the mixture becomes a deep amber color.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and heavy cream until smooth. Add sea salt and vanilla; let it cool slightly.
- Once brownies have cooled slightly, drizzle the warm caramel over the top.
- Allow the caramel to set for a few minutes before cutting the brownies into squares.
