Rolo Stuffed Brownies

John Whaite inspired this recipe for Rolo Stuffed Brownies. He was the first winner of The Great British Baking Show.

The Great British Baking show is a favorite of Dale and mine. We have been working through each season from Netflix. It has been a slow process because we do not have much time to watch TV.

I am impressed with how friendly the contestants are, and even the judges. But, unfortunately, most American competition shows are filled with sarcasm and meanness.

Those Brits are just so polite!

I follow John Whaite on Instagram, and I have for many years. I am impressed by his ability to reinvent himself to stay current. He runs a cooking school, writes cookbooks, appears, and cooks on many British shows.

In the last couple of years, he has sold cookbooks online, with all proceeds going to charity.

This recipe for these Rollo Stuffed Brownies is fantastic. It is a hearty, rich cookie with the familiar taste of Rollo candy bars.

Look no further if you were looking for an easy cookie that the entire family will love.

If you are pressed for time like me, you can make these incredible brownies during commercial breaks of the great British bake-off. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup flour 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder 
• 3/4 cup chopped chocolate chunks 
• 10 oz dark chocolate morsels
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces 
• 1 cup sugar 
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 
• 5 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1 bag Rolo’s, unwrapped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally butter a 9×13 inch baking pan. 

2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate morsels and butter. Stir the mixture occasionally until everything is melted. Once melted, remove from the heat.

3. Add the sugar and brown sugar to the chocolate mixture in the saucepan and mix. If the mixture is not already at room temperature, allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding the eggs.

4. Add three eggs to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Add the remaining two eggs, and mix again. Stir in the vanilla.

5. Slowly combine the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture, stirring to mix. Avoid over mixing.

6. Transfer half of the batter into the 9×13 inch pan, spreading evenly. Place 1 bag of unwrapped Rolo’s in the pan and then cover with the rest of the batter.

7. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, rotating the pan at 15 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.
