Ever since we started the Chocolate Party in September I’ve been day dreaming about upcoming treats. It’s a hard decision what secret ingredient to choose each month. There are LOTS of irresistible chocolate combos. In my head I have everything planned for the next 5 years. Yes, that’s a lots of chocolate and hundreds of recipes coming your way.
This month we decided upon ooey, gooey caramel. Salted or not, store-bought caramel or made from scratch in your kitchen or as Mexican call it “dulce de leche” it’s the star to this month chocolate party.
Chocolate party is a monthly event hosted by me together with some wonderful bloggers. Each month we pick an ingredient and pair it with chocolate. We blog about it by the end of the month.
I hope you’ll join our party and bake along with us. Also, if you’d like to know what are we up to and what ingredients we pick for the next parties, join our Facebook group.
All submitted posts will be pinned to the Chocolate party Pinterest board and will be promoted on other social media platform using the #chocolateparty hashtag.
How to participate (the rules)
1.) Blog about your chocolate treat. Your recipe must include the two ingredients we choose. It can be a simple no bake treat or a sophisticated layer cake, the complexity level of the recipe is totally up to you.
2.) Include a link back to this post or the Chocolate party page. Optional, add the Chocolate Party logo in your blog post or on your sidebar.
3.) Your recipe must be published during the current month. Please do not link old recipes, they will be deleted.

This month I had a hard time deciding what to make. Actually I had these Chewy Chocolate Caramel Bars saved for today but since I change my mind as the wind blows there was just one thing left to do : make a new chocolate caramel treat. With some leftover caramels and a bag of mini rolos in the pantry I took matter into hands and thought cookies were meant to be shared with you today.
Now if I could have stopped eating them, even while taking the pictures. As some of you probably noticed there are different cookies stacked in my photos, one often another got in my mouth.
The ooey, gooey chewy caramel as you bite into one of these rich fudge cookies. My mouth is watering just by thinking about them.
Just like other fudge cookies, you start melted chocolate, 8 ounces for these cookies. After you mix the melted chocolate with the eggs and a little flour 1 cup of chopped rolos and caramels are added. You can use just rolos or just caramels if you like. Chocolate chunks or nuts can also be used, but I’ll stick with the gooey caramel for now.
Caramel loaded fudge brownie cookies - rich chocolate-y cookies loaded with chopped mini rolos and gooey caramels
Ingredients
- 8 oz (224 grams) chocolate chips (I used 60%)
- 3 tbsp (42 grams) butter
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40 grams) all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup chopped rolos and caramels
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips and butter and heat until melted (about 1 minutes) stirring to combined and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
- In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and sugar until start to thicken and they have a pale color.
- With the paddle attachment on, at low-to-medium speed, pour the melted chocolate over the sweetened eggs. It's important to keep mixing while you add the chocolate to prevent the eggs from cooking. Add vanilla extract and mix.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.
- With a spatula, fold in the chocolate caramels.
- With a small scoop, place balls of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 11 minutes.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes on baking sheets before transferring them to cookie racks to cool completely.
- Enjoy!

See, it happened again. Got to your site, looked at that amazing photo of the long strand of caramel dripping off the cookie and said holy crap out loud. If licking the screen wasn’t so gross, I’d give it a try.
I love your food photo ~ Man, that looks good
Love your cookies – I would give anything to have one right now!!!
Yummy…they do look oh soo gooey!
Sometimes a picture is definitely, absolutely, 1000000% worth more than a gazillion words! I think that about sums up what I think of these cookies… and I´m not a cookie person!
OMG! These look incredible! Pinning!!
Holy cow those cookies look like my new best friends. I adore anything with caramel and certainly brownies fit the bill. And brownie cookies, well that’s just genius my friend.
I’m absolutely drooling, you’ve outdone yourself yet again!
That photo is amazing! Makes me want one right now! Beautiful. Thank you so much for hosting this #chocolateparty
Gorgeous photos! Gorgeous cookies, Roxana! I may just drive to Fredericksburg before our big predicted snow, to pick up a few for sustenance, if you have any leftovers!
These look incredible, Roxana!!! A must try recipe!!!!
The dripping caramel is making my head spin with sugary happiness!
These cookies look fabulous, Roxana!
Oh my! I am going to be forced to bake these delicious sounding cookies with the great picture. Actually, I’ve looked for a recipe similar to this for a long time. I was at a church meeting and someone brought a chocolate cookie like this, but the center was filled with a York Peppermint Patty. (the big one!) and I ate the whole thing. Very stressful meeting. lol! Thanks for sharing.

Roxana, these look AMAZING. BTW, I love the header you went with

Hi Lisa,
Yes, I recently changed the header after asking a million questions on Facebook

Roxana, Your cookies look sooo gourmet so I sighed a bit wondering if I’d have time and talent…Then I read your recipe and I am smiling! Love it when something gourmet-ish is easy to make. Thank you!
Yum, yum! I may have to start joining you for your chocolate party. I like that there’s no set date for the posts to publish. Can I add something for this month?
Hi Carolyn,
I’d love if you join us! You can add a caramel chocolate recipe until the end of the month
Can’t wait to see it!
Roxana
I’m reading this as I eat my now sorry looking bagel. I want to trade up to these seriously gooey, chocolatey cookies. They look amazing!
Wow, the way you succeeded to capture the caramel is very very mouthwatering.
These are sensational, the photos drool-worthy for sure!
Pardon me!? LOOK AT THAT CARAMEL! Whew, I think I just fainted
Roxana these cookies are to die for, the caramel coming from the one cookie on top makes me want to grab it. Great recipe and photos. Thanks for the chocolate party.
Your photos of these cookies are just mouth-watering! Beautiful.
That picture with the string of caramel, OMG…..
Anybody that sees these photos will want to make those cookies!!!
Okay the dripping caramel is making my mouth water! These look simply divine! Nicely done.
That caramel stringing out of the cookies is killing me!! These look so delicious!!! I am now officially in the mood for cookies!!!
Oh, those cookies are gorgeous! They look so incredibly moist. And that string of caramel…oh my!
These look so good – and it gives some other great ideas. Nice pictures, too!
Hi, I’d like to order 5 dozen. Can shipping be secret and delivered straight to my closet? Yeah, that’s where most of my goodies are hidden otherwise “Mom, what are you eating? Can I have some?”
All that gooey goodness in a cookie! Irresistible! Funny, I just bought a bag full of caramel candies the other day. Looks like your recipe is calling my name…
This is probably my favorite pairing to date. Love caramel and can’t wait to play with it this month. Brilliant use of the two ingredients here, Roxana.
I love the oozing pool of caramel! You know how to make cookies look really attractive.
They sound and look awesome. Chocolate and caramel is definitely a favorite of mine!
Caramel stuffed in cookies NEVER gets old. Especially when it oozes out like in your pictures. My eyes and I am sure my tastebuds too would agree these are absolutely stunning.
it looks delicious ommm
I AM ADDICTED TO EVERYTHING CARAMEL!!! I am definitely making these! They look AMAZING!
Your caramel theme this month is making me crazy! Just hand me a few of these and a good book and I’m done for tonight:)Love the shots, Roxy. gorgeous!
I just made these cookies and they cake out fantastic! Very delicious, moist and gooey. The only thing I noticed was you forget to say when to add the Vanilla extract in the recipe instructions. But apart from that, a great recipe and I cannot wait to use it again!
Hi Bethlow,
glad to hear you liked them. Just edited the recipe directions. Thanks for bringing it to my attention
Happy baking,
Roxana
Hi roxana,
. I wonder what i did wrong? I did as you said in the recipe and btw u forgot to mention the vanilla essence in the cooking process(you only mentioned it in the ingredients). Is there anything that you think we can substitute for the Rolos?
My friend and I tried out these cookies today. But it turned out not like the oozy-caramely photo you put up
Thanks a lot.
Hi Sahana,
The pictures were taken while the cookies were still warm. If you wait for them to cool down, it gives the caramel time to harden. They are still chewy and delicious, just not oozing
As for the rolos, you can use just caramels or add a mixture or caramels and chocolate chunks.
Happy baking,
Roxana
Hi Roxana!
I just stumbled across your blog for the first time. Everything looks so good. While I can’t follow your recipes exactly (I’m gluten-free) they are definitely inspiring. I’ve been craving chocolate nonstop lately, so this recipe definitely made me stop and think about how I’m going to make this ASAP!
I’m a little challenged when it comes to baking but my boyfriend would love these! (Who am I trying to fool, so would I!) My one question is, the ingredients say, 1 C. chopped rolo’s and caramels. So does that mean 1 C. of each? Just want to make sure I get it right!
Hi Donna,
I used 1 cup chopped rolos and caramels together. I didn’t measure if they were half cup rolos and half cup caramels, just measured them together. Hope that helps you. Ig you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Happy baking,
Roxana
