Rolos

80’s advert for Rolos. “Do you love someone enough to give them your last Rolo?”

Rolo (pronounced “Roll-Oh”) is a brand of cylinder-shaped chocolates with a caramel centre. They are made by NestlĂ©, except in the United States where the rights have been held by The Hershey Company since 1969. They were advertised for many years with the slogan “Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo?”.

History

In the UK, they are made at Fawdon in Tyneside by Nestlé Rowntree. They were first made originally in 1937 by Rowntrees in York. Mackintosh toffee was coated with chocolate. There have now been Rolo cookies, ice-cream, muffins, birthday cake, desserts, cake bars, mini Rolos, big Rolos, (all of which use exactly the same type of caramel) yogurts and Easter eggs made. There is a white chocolate version with Irish cream.
