Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 24 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. - Stuff with Rolos
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a Rolo candy in the center, then wrap the dough around the Rolo, rolling it into a ball to completely encase the candy. Repeat with the remaining dough and Rolos. - Bake the Cookies
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly cracked on top. - Cool and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. For an extra touch, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar. Enjoy the gooey, caramel-filled goodness!
