Rolo Brownie Bites with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

I need people to stop posting these pictures to facebook.  It's making me hungry.

Ingredients:
* 1 box fudge brownie mix plus necessary eggs, oil & water per package instructions (or your favorite homemade recipe)
* 24 Rolo candies (plus extras for the cook’s snack) :)
* 4 Tbs. butter, softened at room temperature
* 4 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temperature
* 2 Tbs. caramel sauce
* 1 cup confectioners sugar

Directions:
- Remove all the wrappers and refrigerate the Rolo candies, eat some. Pre-heat oven to 325F.
- Prepare brownies according to package directions. Grease the Pampered Chef Mini-Muffin Pan with cooking spray or use mini-cupcake papers and using Small Scoop, fill each cup 3/4 full (one scoopful) with batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and immediately press a Rolo, smaller side down, into the center of each brownie bite until the top of the Rolo is even with the top of the brownie bite. Cool for a couple of minutes then carefully remove the brownie bites from the pan to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.

To make the frosting, whip the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the caramel sauce and blend. Add the confectioners sugar and whip until creamy and smooth. Fill the Easy Accent Decorator and using the open star tip, pipe the frosting onto the top of each brownie bite. Chill in the refrigerator to set the frosting a bit before serving.
