  1. Are these really to be put in a 9×13? They had a super thin layer (both top and bottom) when I poured it in. The Rolos weren’t “buried” in brownie mix. Are we to use a regular size brownie mix? (The brownie package suggests an 8×8).
    Thanks – Sarah

  2. Hi Sarah, the brownie mix that I used was for a 9×13 tin, however, if it says on the packet that you buy use an 8×8 I would suggest using that so you get it thick enough for the rolos to go inside.
