Rolo Brownie Bites with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
• 1 box fudge brownie mix + necessary eggs, oil & water per package instructions (or your own homemade brownie recipe)
• 24 Rolo candies plus extras for the cook's snack
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened at room temperature
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 1 cup confectioners sugar

Directions:

1. Remove all the wrappers and refrigerate the Rolo candies. Pre-heat oven to 325F. Prepare brownies according to package directions. Grease a 24 cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray and fill each cup ¾ full with batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Remove from oven and immediately press a Rolo, smaller side down, into the center of each brownie bite until the top of the Rolo is even with the top of the brownie bite. Cool for a couple of minutes then carefully remove the brownie bites from the pan to a cooking rack. Allow to cool completely.
    
2. For the frosting; whip the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the caramel sauce and blend.  Add the confectioners sugar and whip until creamy and smooth. Using a pastry or plastic bag with a piping tip, pipe the frosting onto the top of each brownie bite. Chill in the refrigerator to set the frosting a bit before serving.

Note: 24 Servings.
