Thank you! It's been decades since I've bought or had some.
 
Don't feel bad. I made 4 trips to the grocery store when the choc. caramel brownies came out looking for chocolate covered caramels. Boy did I feel dumb when I realized it was Rollo's!
 
Random tip: If your grocery store ever doesn't have caramel candies for this, a girl on my team found you can substitute rolos for the chocolate chips and caramels!
