A soft almond-flavored dough studded with Rolos and baked to create the most tender, most buttery, most caramel-y bars I've ever had! These are crazy gooey, guys. Done in 30 minutes!
Preheat your oven to 350. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. (Or use foil and spray with nonstick. Or spray the pan itself.)
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, salt, and almond extract and beat well, scraping down the sides.
Add the flour and beat until not quite incorporated.
Add the rolos. I mixed them in for a couple seconds with the beater, but you can fold them in with a wooden spoon if you want. (Some of the rolos in my batch were broken and some were left whole) Don't over mix.
Press into the prepared square pan.
Bake at 350 for about 22-24 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. They will look soft in the middle but a toothpick should come out clean.
Cut into small squares and serve with lots of milk!
Notes
*If you don't have almond you can sub vanilla.The original legendary Almond Roca Bars!
