I thought I would love these. But thought it just too much going on in the brownie. I guess my taste preferences tend toward a simpler brownie. At the party I served them at about half the people agreed with me and the other half loved them.

This was a huge hit at the office. The toffee, choc chips, and Rolo's create a delicious gooey middle layer. The top layer of brownie batter is hard to "crumble" or spread across, so just take a big spoon and drop it down in clumps. It will spread out when it bakes and it's not a huge deal if it doesn't cover everything - I just tried to make sure I at least covered the Rolo's. I almost made my own brownie batter because I don't like to use cake mixes, but I'm glad I followed the recipe because the batter is much thicker than mine would have been. The flavor was still good. I highly recommend this. The longest part is unwrapping the Rolo's and placing them in the pan, but you will be loved when you share these and it will all be worth it!

This was a really good recipe and pretty easy to make. However, it was more of a cake texture than a brownie and the dough was difficult to spread. It might have been better if there was one more egg in the recipe. On the other hand, the way it is was good with fudge chocolate frosting

I served these warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream and everyone loved them- check out my photo. Some of the other pictures looked like their brownies were made from a different recipe! My market didn't carry toffee baking bits, so I used a Skor candy bar that I finely chopped, which worked well and added a tasty crunch. I also cut the Rolos in half as others suggested, pushing the cut side down into the dough. I have a tip for those having trouble spreading this thick dough into the pan: if you use the back of a plastic spoon or a plastic (not rubber) spatula, it doesn't stick to the dough as much. Also, cutting the brownies with a plastic knife works much better than a metal knife. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

These brownies were edible, but I was a bit mislead by the pic's of them, they look like a traditional dense ooey gooey brownie, and mine turned out far from it. They were very cakey (which I should have expected considering they use a cake mix to make them!) I'm lazy and didn't feel like unwrapping 35 rolo candies, so I just bought the individual candy bar rolo's, which come all wrapped in one big foil tube, saves TONS of time!!! Also as stated by so many other's this batter is rediculous to try and spread, even with Pam on your spatula! I made these last night, and I have decided that they are a bad rip off of better than sex cake! I wont be making this again, if I want brownies I find a better recipe (like brooke's bombshell brownies) and if I want better than sex cake I'll just make that!

Yummy. Make sure you don't overcook it. Because of all the gooey stuff in the middle, your toothpick won't come out completely clean, even when the brownies are done. This makes it easy to overcook, so watch it. Much better after it has set and cooled for several hours. (Overnight is best)

Very good if you're in a bind (which I was)....only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it still has a cake-like consistency instead of a "brownie" consistency - tasty, nonetheless:)
