Chocolate Cake Mix as a base then topped with chopped pecans and Rolos and covered in caramel and chocolate chips these Rolo Pecan Caramel Chocolate Cake Bars are out of this world!
I have a thing for Turtle like desserts. I mean who wouldn't? Chocolate, Caramel and Pecans need I say more? I was at Target last night for no reason at all. I just felt like going. I already have enough trouble when I go to Target with a list, but going with no list and just for fun? That is dangerous people!
Well, I was in the candy section and the mini bags of candy( the bags with no wrappers on the candies of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Rolo's, Butterfingers..etc) you know! Well, they were on sale and I needed some excuse to buy 3 bags for $8. So I decided to bake as it is Sunday and I do work I could easily pawn off a tray of deliciousness! So here we are.
These bars are delicious, I really enjoyed them. One co-worker suggested I send them off to the Rolo factory 🙂

Of course this was delicious...why wouldn't it be! The only issue I had was how to cut it. Perhaps I didn't let it cook enough...it was still pretty soft when I took it from the oven. I did let it cool but was unsure how to cut it. The foil (yes I did butter it) stuck to the bottom a little. I was able to slice a few small bars but mainly I just scooped it out into a bowl. Might it be better to use parchment paper?

Hi Tom, thanks for the review. Parchment paper might be a better option yes, with caramel it does tend to stick. Take care. XX Liz
