Can these be baked in the rectangular baker? I have a show tomorrow and the host wants these brownies and Clubhouse Chicken Squares...I only have 1 bar pan!
 
They'll be thicker and you probably won't need as many Rolos to push into them. But otherwise, I don't see why not.
 
I was going to see if you perhaps had a S/A large rectangle platter with handles. Prebake the clubhouse squares crust on some parchment paper and transfer to the platter before even leaving home. Then you can use the bar pan at your show, and still utilize all the tools to make the squares and show the Simple additions too. Those are two of my favorite recipes too! Yummy!
 
RolosFor those brownies what type of candies does it call for? Is it rolos??? I love those candies!!! Chocolate with caramel center.

Debbie :D

LOVE it! My daughter and I wondered if it would work with Milk Duds as well?
 
I heard another good replacement is the caramel hershey kisses! Yummy!
 
Peanut butter cupsI've made them with peanut butter cups instead of rolos. Yum! I took most of the pan in to work so that I wouldn't be tempted with them at home. They were gone by noon! I'm doing them for a cooking show on Wednesday for my sister. Tina
 
I made these for my show on friday night and used what looked like reeses only it had carmel inside and just used less of them then used carmel pieces and cut them into quarters and sprinkled on top. It was very good and easy to make.

I took a batch to work as well last week for a coworkers birthday. Gone before the coffee truck rolled around at 10. I didn't get any bookings out of it, but I did get 2 marriage proposals! lol (I work in automotive with all men!)
 
I used rolos - it tasted delicious! Rolos were the only chocolate coated caramels I could find - most chocolates said something like caramel filled chocolate, so I was afraid that they might have more than just caramel filling.
 
Rolos are the intended candy. But because HO doesn't want to imply an agreement between them and any specific manufacturer, they don't use brand names in the recipe.

Yes, I made them in my 9x13 baker and they came out fine!
 
Rolos is the candy that the test kitchen specificaaly named at their workshop at National conference. However, a few consultants on my team thought they were too gooey and caramely. I tried the recipe at another consultants show and she used milk duds and they tasted fabulous!!
 
I was going to make these at my show on the 19th. Has anyone tried making them with white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate morsels? Do you think it would turn out alright using white chocolate?

How did those taste?

For folks with nut allergies, substitute crisp rice cereal (chocolate or plain) for the nuts. It provides a crispy topping because it's just on top and not mixed into the batter.

I concur that these are a customer favorite.
 
I made them last night for a Halloween party and instead of using mixed nuts I used just peanuts. It was a big hit.
