Remember those ads that asked us who we would share our last Rolo with? I don't think a packet of Rolo's ever last long enough to share with anyone when I buy them. Nope, no one is sharing my Rolo's and I certainly wouldn't give up a lamb roast for a dinner with pre-couch jumping Tom Cruise (showing my age here aren't I!). As for Rolo's I think it has something to do with the fact it is chocolate and caramel in a roll. I don't feel as bad eating a whole roll, as opposed to a whole block of chocolate. Anyway, I digress - however stay with me here as this recipe does contain Rolo's.
I have one word for this recipe: easy. This is exactly what these brownies are. Sure, you say, if they're that easy they probably don't taste as good. WRONG! These brownies are beautiful.....soft gooey centres with a layer of walnuts on the bottom. So so easy and a great idea for a office morning tea to impress those work colleges or just a simple treat for the kids lunch boxes (Miss 9, Mr 6 and Miss 4 were very happy indeed).
This brownie is from the same book as the double decker mud-cake that we previously posted.

You will need
1/2 cup (50g) walnuts, toasted, chopped finely
80g butter
150g dark chocolate, chopped coarsely

1 egg, beaten lightly
1/3 cup (50g) plain flour
1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
3 x 50g packets Rolos
(you could need an extra packet if you're forced to try some!!)
Preparation time 15 minutes Cooking time 20 minutes
1 Preheat oven to moderate. Lightly grease two non-stick 12-hole (11/2-tablespoon) mini muffin pan, divide walnuts among holes.
2 Stir butter and chocolate in small saucepan over low heat until smooth, Stir in sugar, cool to just warm.
3 Stir in egg, then flour and cream, spoon mixture into prepared pan. Press one Rolo into cente of each quantity of mixture, spread mixture so that Rolo is completely enclosed ( I forgot to do this but I thought it looked good with the top of the Rolo showing).
Bake in moderate oven about 15 minutes. Using a sharp-pointed knife, loosen sides of brownies from pan, stand 10 minutes. Remove brownies gently from pan.
Who would you guys share your last Rolo with?
