The combination of creamy fudge and the iconic caramel-filled Rolos takes this Rolo fudge to a whole new level. Each bite bursts with gooey caramel, wrapped in a rich layer of chocolate that’s smooth and indulgent. The Rolos aren’t just sprinkled on top—they’re incorporated throughout, creating pockets of caramel in every square. It’s almost too good to share.

Rolo Fudge Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: This simple recipe would be just as rich and yummy with any kind of chocolate chip.

Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or what about an entirely new twist with white chocolate chips?

ROLO CANDIES: If you’re out of Rolo candies or you’re looking for a different chocolate-caramel combo, consider substituting them with other similar candies.

Twix, for instance, could add a delightful crunch, or Milky Way for a softer caramel and nougat combination.

Remember, the texture might vary slightly depending on the candy used.

NUTS: To add a delightful crunch and some extra flavor, consider throwing in some chopped nuts.

Pecans, walnuts, or almonds work well. They’ll provide a nice contrast to the smooth fudge and enhance the overall experience.

VANILLA EXTRACT: While the recipe doesn’t call for it, a drop or two of vanilla extract can subtly enhance the overall flavor.

How To Make This Rolo Fudge Recipe

STEP ONE: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

STEP TWO: Add the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream to a 2 to 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the chips are melted and smooth. 

STEP THREE: Spread half of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. 

You can chill the whole Rolos in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before you slice them in half. Also, keep the sliced Rolos in the refrigerator before adding them to the fudge. This will help ensure the caramel does not ooze out prematurely before slicing the fudge.

STEP FOUR: Evenly layer 2½ cups of the halved Rolos on top of the chocolate layer.

STEP FIVE: Spread the remaining chocolate mixture over the Rolo layer.6

STEP SIX: Finally, top the chocolate layer with the remaining Rolos.

Allow the fudge to rest for 30 minutes before tightly covering it with plastic wrap and chilling in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. 

To help slice the Rolo chocolate fudge, run a large sharp knife under hot water. Be sure to dry the knife before cutting.

How To Serve

Any big fan of Rolos will be eager to enjoy a slice of this irresistible fudge.

Wash it down with a homemade hot chocolate or pumpkin spice latte.

You can also add this treat to a gift box along with our gingerbread fudge and creamsicle fudge.

To make the experience even more indulgent, why not pair it with an equally as decadent bowl of creamy and rich vanilla ice cream?
