  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

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