what size pan works best?
For this recipe, we used to recommend using a 9×13 inch baking pan. However, companies now use less cake mix in their mixes. Because of this, it may be a little more tricky to spread the mixture out in the pan, because there is less batter.
You can still use the 9×13 baking dish, but a 9×9 or 8×8 would also work great.
what could i use instead of rolos?
I have found that rolls definitely work best for this recipe, however, if you don’t have any on hand, or can’t find them, you could also use caramel filled Hershey’s kisses, or you could also use Milkyway Caramels, or mini Milkyways.
We definitely recommend and prefer the Rolos, but both of these alternatives would still work great. You could also use pre-wrapped square caramels and chocolate chips as well, but again, Rolos work best.

He was right! YUMMY!!
I purchased $20 in Rolos at Costco today to have on hand for all your yummy Rolo recipes. 🙂
Pinned onto my MUST MAKE IMMEDIATELY board!
I had to make in an 8 x 8 pan. I was not able to get it to spread out enough for a 9 x 13. Did anyone else have this issue?
I was not abls to get the cake batter to apread out in a 9×13 pan either.
It’s because the company downsized the cake mix. Used to be 18.25 oz, but now is 15.25 oz.
