How to make Rolo Blondies

There’s a few steps to making this delicious blondies:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 170°C and grease/line an 8×8 inch baking pan.
2. First melt butter and white chocolate in the microwave.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar.
4. Add in the vanilla extract and melted butter/chocolate and whisk until combined.
5. Mix in the flour until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Pour the batter into the baking tin and spread it out evenly.
7. Equally distribute 16 Rolos into the batter, ensuring they are covered.
8. Place the remaining Rolos and a handful of chocolate chips on top of the batter.
9. Bake for around 35 minutes.
10. Allow your the Blondies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy the gooey, caramel-filled blondies.

Tips for Perfect Rolo Blondies

1. Be sure to line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.

2. Don’t overmix the batter after adding the flour to prevent overdeveloping the gluten, which can result in a tough blondie.

3. Be mindful of the baking time, as overbaking can dry out the blondies. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs when they’re done.

4. Allow the blondies to cool before cutting them to ensure clean, neat squares.

Ingredients list

There are many ingredients in blondies that you would find in brownies as well; there’s only really the absence of the cocoa powder which is why they both have the moist, fudgy and delicious taste and texture. The blondie is made up of:

• Dry Ingredients – Plain Flour and Sugar: Be sure to sift your plain flour because it really does make a difference with the texture of the blondies. Sifting the flour will ensure the blondie is lump free and smooth. With regards to the flour, you can use either caster or granulated in the batter. I know a lot of recipes suggest using caster sugar because the sugar is finer but I haven’t noticed a difference in my baking.

• Wet Ingredients – Unsalted Butter, Eggs, Vanilla Extract: Unsalted butter is a better option than salted because you can add salt in later if you wish. It’s hard to determine how much salt is already in the butter so unsalted is the better way to go. Don’t skip out on the vanilla extract because it will really elevate the flavour of the blondies. I’ve noticed this with vanilla sponge cakes as well; when I skip the vanilla extract, it feels like there’s something missing. The vanilla extract gives the blondies a lovely flavour but more so it makes them smell amazing! Every time I make blondies, my house smells like a bakery and I love it!

• Toppings – Rolos, handful of chocolate chips: I used 16 Rolos to go inside the blondies, one inside each blondie square and a few to go on the top. I also sprinkled a few chocolate chips on the blondies before baking as well to give it an extra chocolate-y flavour.

FAQ’s

How can I store the blondies?

Once they cool completely, slice them up and store in an air-tight container. They should be fine for a week.

Do they need to be refrigerated?

When the blondies cool completely, place them into the fridge for an hour. This will help you cut them into nice, clean squares. Once you cut them up, you don’t need to store them in the fridge afterwards, just an air-tight container will be fine.

How many portions is it?

You can really cut however many squares you like but I think 16 squares is a good amount. You don’t need a huge slice because they are very rich and moist and you don’t want a tiny slice because they taste so good!

What size baking tin do I need to use?

I used an 8×8 inch baking tin and lined it with parchment paper so the blondies could be easily removed from the tin. If you only have a round tin, you can use that too and cut the blondies into slices. They won’t have the signature blondie shape but they will taste just as good!
