Turn leftover Halloween candy into a delicious dessert with these Rolo chocolate chip blondies. Loaded with gooey caramel and tons of chocolate, these cookie bars will satisfy are quick, easy, and certain to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Halloween is all about costumes and candy.

Kids spend all night dressed-up going door to door, parents sneak chocolate from their children’s bags, single adults snack on the treats they’re supposed to give to the kids and the entire cycle continues until it’s all gone or we’re all just too sick.

Or so I’ve been told…

Not that you need another reason to steal the kids’ candy, but if you steal the kids’ candy and make them these caramel and chocolate stuffed blondies you can tell them you are doing them a favor.

You’re making cookies for them, not you. They don’t need to know the truth, and it goes over a lot better than just claiming the ‘candy tax’.

Ingredients

Like all the best brownie recipes, this version only requires a handful of mostly traditional ingredients.

To make these ooey gooey Rolo chocolate chip blondies you need:

Butter – I like using salted butter in baked goods because it enhances the sweetness, but unsalted butter works just fine too.
Egg – A single large egg
Brown Sugar – Light recommended
Vanilla – Real or artificial extract both work in this recipe.
Flour – All purpose
Salt
Chocolate Chips – Regular sized semi sweet variety
Rolo Candy – Buying the unwrapped variety will save you time.

How to Make

Making this sinfully good treat is so easy! One bowl and some quick prep work and you are ready to dig into the best ever batch of blondies.

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

While the oven preheats, line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. Let the paper overhang a bit on the sides. Then set it aside.

Now, whisk together the melted butter, egg, sugar and vanilla extra in a large bowl.

Mix flour and salt into the wet ingredients until everything is just combined.

Once you have made the blondie batter, fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop half the batter into the prepared baking dish and cover the layer of batter with Rolos. Spread the remaining batter out over top of the Rolo layer and make sure it is evenly distributed.

Bake the blondies at 350 for 20 minutes.

When they are done, transfer them to a wire cooling rack lifting them out carefully by the overhanging edges of the parchment paper.

Let them cool for an hour before cutting and serving. Then serve and enjoy!

Storing

Completely cooled blondies can be stored in an air tight container on your counter for 3 days or in your fridge for a up to a week.

They can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Tips and tricks

Don’t over mix the batter or it will toughen. You want to mix everything until it is just combined.
The parchment paper is a must for easy removal.
Letting the blondies cool will allow them to firm up so they are easier to cut.
You can feel free to substitute any chocolate candy you have for the layer of Rolos. A layer of Snickers bar pieces or Reese’s peanut butter cups would be amazing in these.
