Ingredients
Scale
Cookies & Candy
- 1 (11 oz) box Mini Nilla Wafers
- 1 (8 oz) bag Rolos
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Assemble Rolo sandwiches: Arrange half of the Mini Nilla Wafers on the baking sheet with the flat side facing up. Place one Rolo candy on top of each wafer to create the base layer.
- Soften Rolos in oven: Bake the wafer and Rolo assembly for 90 seconds to gently soften the Rolos, making them easier to sandwich.
- Complete the sandwich: Quickly remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately place another Mini Nilla Wafer on top of each softened Rolo to create the sandwich bites.
- Chill to firm up: Transfer the baking sheet with the assembled Rolo sandwiches to the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes so the caramel firms up again.
- Melt the chocolate coating: While chilling, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Rolo bites: Individually dip each Rolo sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then place them back onto the lined baking sheet.
- Final chilling: Place the coated Rolo Twix bites in the refrigerator once more to set the chocolate coating firmly before serving.
Notes
- Use mini Nilla Wafers for perfectly sized sandwich bites.
- Substitute vegetable oil with coconut oil for a slight flavor variation.
- Ensure Rolos are soft but not melted during baking to make assembly easier.
- Allow chocolate to fully set in the fridge for a clean coating before handling or packaging.
- Store finished bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
