Easy Rolo Chocolate Mug Cake recipe. This quick and simple dessert recipe is ready in under 5 minutes and made in the microwave.
I have been craving cake a lot lately, but in this heat, there is no way that I am turning on the oven.
It’s on days like today where I am grateful for mug cakes. This Rolo Chocolate Mug Cake in particular.
This cake is very similar to my Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Mug Cake, except for instead of caramel this cake is stuffed with rolo chocolates.
I am a sucker for rolo chocolates. With my Pecan Rolo Pretzel Bites and my Rolo Filled Brown Butter Cookies, I can’t stop putting them in my desserts. Which is probably for the best, because otherwise I would just be eating them straight from the bag.
