The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.61 star rating.
Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2008
Rating this based on how I had to make it, with what we had onhand - had to use EggBeaters (who runs out of eggs?? Us, apparently...) the caramel version of Jr. Mints (yea, Dollar Tree.) Made in an 11x7 and was CRAZY hard to spread, even when I sprayed spatula as someone suggested. I expected brownie consistency, but it was total cake texture, and despite the small caramel pieces, sticky to eat. I'll try again with real eggs, Rolos and make sure I use the cake mix that only requires adding water (the one I used called for oil, but I didn't add any - not sure if that affected it.)I'm sure this is fabulous based on other reviews - I just want to indicate what didn't work for me as a reminder the next time I pull this up.

These were good, but I don't think I'd make them again because there are better recipes out there. And I hated unwrapping all of those Rolos! :)

This recipe is awesome! Everyone loved it! I'm trying alternates as suggested by others i.e. caramels, kisses, etc. I personally alternate toffee bits and walnuts. I lightly sprinkled powdered sugar right before presentation. I'm making them for Christmas and packaging them up as gifts (as requested). Yum!

These brownies were awesome!!! I cut the rolos in half like the other review suggested, which worked really well. The batter is very difficult to spread, but I sprayed a spatula with Pam and it spread much easier.

I've made this recipe about 3-4 times now, and its always a big hit. I get asked for the recipe everytime. I think the toffee chips add a lot, because you get that nice crunch when you bite into it. The only issue I run into is the dough is really sticky and hard to spread and it never seems like I have enough for the top layer, no matter how little I put on the bottom. But that doesn't really affect the taste, so it doesn't matter much.

I didn't think the brownie part of this recipe was that great. I would have preferred to substitute even a boxed brownie mix then added the "extras" like rolos, toffee bits and chocolate chips. It was just ok for us.

These turned out very good. It was tricky to get the top layer of brownie mix on evenly, but it seemd to spread as it cooked. I think I will omit the toffee bits next time because I don't think they added a lot to the flavor (these are very rich and chocolately) and they tended to get stuck in my teeth. Next time, I think I will spoon small portions of the dough on the top layer to make it easier to spread. I used a 10 x 10 pan and it was fine. Very tasty.

These are SUPER yummy! I have made these twice now and the first time was exxcelent and the second time I did...I accidently bought a bag of rolo's, reeces and kisses...I used all three candies(cut the reeces and rolos in half) and put them in the mix. It tasted soooo good! I ran out of the dough so the top layer was toffee and choc. chips. I made my own choc. cake mix(healthier. I always have to cook things longer, but I think that's just my oven. FABULOUS recipe! Chewy, gooey, super yummy and worth the calories!

They were a little crumbly, but good. I think they would be even better with reese cups instead of rolos.

These brownies were fabulous! I made them for my friends birthday dinner and she LOVED them. They are nice and chewy, in my opinion, the perfect brownie. The only thing missing was the vanilla ice cream, then this would have been over the top delicious! I did cut the rolos in half, then they covered the entire surface of the brownie! Perfect!

These were very tasty and incredibly easy to make. I did have some problems with them sticking to the pan; I think it was because I pressed the caramels too far down when I was spreading the batter on top. I'll definitely make these again.

I have never made brownies before so I was looking forward to making them but by the time I arrived home I was tired but decided to go ahead and make them. I forgot to put eggs and only realised it after I had put the first layer in the oven. I almost threw out the mixture but decided to keep it. The brownies still tasted sooo good. I will try these again and see how they turn out. I am from South Africa and don't know what toffee bits/chips are. Is there a substitute that I could use?

Yummy! I made these for a covered-dish lunch and they were great. I love the idea of making brownies from cake mix and will be saving that idea for future reference as well. I used halved caramel cups (Wal-Mart brand...Great Value?) and they were delicious. I'll try the Rolos sometime, too. The gooey yumminess inside was a treat. Instead of 35 pieces, I got 24, I guess because I cut them bigger. I did use a little extra time for baking because they didn't seem quite done after the written time. Only downside was that I wasn't able to try them warm with a glass of milk! I'll be doing that today with what's left :) . Terrific recipe!

These are delicious......especially for a party. They are not as sweet as you might expect with the additions of candy as listed. I also cut the Rolo's in 1/2.

LOVED these brownies. The dough is very much like brownie dough - thick and hard to spread. I wasn't sure how it would turn out that I wasn't "spreading" it on the top layer, but more of dropping it around. Worked wonderfully, and these were a HUGE hit!

After my best friend served us these last weekend, I made these for my Moms group, following the ingredients as written. They were raved about, and I brought home an empty container! My husband and kids gobbled them up, too. Rich and satisfying, my favorite brownie recipe so far!
