Ok, ok, so my hubby might have some major words with me too if all I served every night were brownies. We should probably keep the brownies to a minimum and only for after dinner.
Ever since I made these pumpkin spice brownie bites,I have been thinking non-stop about what else I could put inside another brownie. I just might end up going a little overboard on the brownie bites this fall…just saying. Promise me you won’t get tired of brownie bites any time soon!!!
Let’s get started with my new favorite candy…salted caramel brownie bites!!!
What is it about salted caramel that just gets me every single time? I absolutely loved these chewy little brownies filled with sweet and salty goodness. There were smiles all around when everyone took a bite and found the candy hiding in the center of all that chocolate!
Now my kids weren’t as crazy about tasting the salt on top of the brownie bites as I was. In fact, our oldest asked me, “Why does it taste like you dipped them in the ocean?” What a goober!!!
Silly boy! Hee hee! I am just refining their dessert palates! I guess if they don’t like them, I will have to eat them all. Someone has to get rid of them, right?

Sweet and salty collide in these easy Salted Caramel Brownie Bites. The hidden candy center is a fun treat to find.
Ingredients
- 1 - 9x13 box brownie mix
- 35 Rolos
- 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- sea salt
Instructions
- Make the brownie mix according to the directions on the back of the box. Bake at 350 degrees for about 28 minutes or however long the box calls for. Do not over bake. A toothpick should come out slightly gooey. Cool completely.
- Cut the brownies into 35 small squares. Place a Rolo on each square. Wrap the brownie around the Rolo and form into a ball. Place on a wax paper covered baking sheet. Refrigerate the bites for about an hour or more.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to the package directions. Dip the brownie bites in the melted chocolate using a fork, place on wax paper, and sprinkle with sea salt. Makes 35 brownie bites. Store in a sealed container.

I wonder what would happen if you were to form the brownie ball and just pipe in a little gooey caramel instead…
Jocelyn Brubaker says
I would think the gooey caramel would leak out before you could get it dipped in the chocolate. Any caramel candy would work for this. The caramel Hershey kisses are much softer, and I like using those too.

Question – I used Confession of a Cookbook Queen’s “Homemade Brownies with Funfetti Frosting” for these bites (without the frosting of course). (Sorry I can’t link to those from this phone.) Will those work for this (i.e., will they flatten properly, etc.)? Thanks.
Jocelyn Brubaker says
I don’t see why they shouldn’t work. My thinking is any brownie would be ok as long as it is fudge-y enough and not cake like.
Stacey says
Just tried making these and didn’t work at all! Most box mixes call for 1 egg and finally found one that called for 2 so, thats the one I used. Brownies turned out good but, don’t stay together at all for making into a ball!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Hhhhmmm. I used a 9×13 mix that called for 2 eggs. If the brownies are soft, they should be able to be flattened and then squeezed together to make a ball. Sorry it didn’t work out so well for you. At least the brownies taste good 🙂
Natalie Smale says
these were okay, but a little too salty and rich the way I made them. It was like you absolutely needed a glass of milk right afterwards. Is there anyway to lessen the intensity a bit or is that just the way they are?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
They are pretty rich because it is brownie, candy, and chocolate all in one! What kind of sea salt did you use? I used a very coarse ground sea salt. If yours was fine ground it would make it too salty. I would suggest adjusting the salt next time to you liking.

Is it okay if I use a box mixes that called for 1 egg instead of two? What is the difference? Or can I just add another egg in the mix?
Can’t wait to do these for Christmas! 🙂
Jocelyn says
What size pan does your mix say to bake it in? Usually a 1 egg mix is for an 8×8 pan. If that is the case, just make 2 pans of brownies following the package directions. I hope that helps.
alexandra says
It says that it can be in a 8×8 or 9×9 pan. So what do you recommend me?
Jocelyn says
I made a 9×13 brownie mix and got 35 brownie bites. You should get at least 16 from the brownie mix you have. Go ahead and just make it like the directions say.
alexandra says
Hi!
I made the brownie bites last year and it was a success! 🙂 I want to make these again this year but I wanted to know if I can froze them?
Thank you!
