Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk, divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (14 oz) bag Rolo candies, unwrapped
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, 1/4 cup evaporated milk, and melted butter. Mix until well blended.
- Press half the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg, and remaining 2 tbsp evaporated milk until smooth.
- Remove the crust from the oven and immediately spread the cream cheese mixture over it.
- Evenly distribute unwrapped Rolos over the top, pressing them slightly into the batter.
- Crumble the remaining dough on top of the Rolos.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25–28 minutes until the top is set and slightly cracked.
- Cool completely before cutting into bars. For cleaner cuts, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
