Nutella Rolo Blondies

Nutella Rollo Blondies are the perfect bar for chocolate, hazelnut & caramel lovers. Traditional blondies with a center of nutella and chopped rolos candies

I owe you guys an apology. You see, I was browsing the blog and realized that it has been entirely too long since I’ve shared a gooey, chewy bar recipe.  So because it’s Wednesday and we could all use a mid-week pick me up, I’m sharing these Nutella Rolo Blondies with you. And if you love chocolate, caramel and nutella you are going to LOVE these Nutella Rolo Blondies.

I have always been a big fan of brownies but blondies aren’t something that I have made a lot of. I made these Malted Dark Chocolate Chip Blondies over on Oh, Sweet Basil. They were a pretty big hit around here but I haven’t had the chance to make a good gooey, chewy bar since. Well until now.

I’m not gonna lie, these Nutella Rolo Blondies are pretty amazing, friends. First, one thing of note is that I leave out the baking powder. This may not be standard but I chose to do this because I wanted to make sure these blondies were a little more on the fudgy side rather than cakey.

Next up come the mix-ins. I suppose I shouldn’t really call them mix-ins because they are more like a layer. You see I first spread a layer of 1/2 of the blondie batter into the pan. Then I spread the nutella over the top of that layer. Next, I scatter the chopped rolos over the nutella. Finally, I spread the rest of the blondie batter over the top and pop it in the oven. The result is a truly decadent bar with a layer of gooey, chewy nutella and rolos all melted together.

If you’re looking for a little more, drizzle some homemade or store bought caramel sauce over the top. You won’t regret it.
