Rolo Cake Mix Bars

As soon as I saw this recipe I knew they would be good. Yellow cake mix and a milk chocolate covered caramel candy baked together, yeah it just sounds good! With this simple recipe there are so many other dangerous varieties like a chocolate cake mix and peanut butter cups, funfetti cake mix and marshmallows, yellow cake mix and heath bar etc. I could just go on but instead I’ll just share you this recipe. I found the recipe over at Cookies and Cups. I knew it would be good coming from her blog. She makes everything look delicious.They were well liked by my friends over the weekend and I think they will start to make a regular appearance. Just make sure you have a lot of time to unwrap each piece of Rolo candy. Yeah that wasn’t fun at all!

Divide batter in half and press 1 half onto the bottom of the pan. Bake until just set, approximately 8-9 minutes.

Remove base from oven and place Rolo candies, caramel-side down on top. Drop remaining batter on top of Rolos in teaspoon sized amounts. Bake for 20-24 minutes longer until top begins to golden.

Cool completely before cutting into squares.
