Rolo is a world-renowned confectionery brand famous for its roll-shaped milk chocolates filled with a soft toffee center. The brand was originally introduced in the United Kingdom in 1937 by Mackintosh's, a prominent British candy manufacturer based in Norwich. It gained massive popularity for its unique shape and the marketing slogan associated with sharing the 'last Rolo.' Over the decades, the brand has become a staple in the confectionery market globally.

The manufacturing and ownership of Rolo are unique due to a licensing agreement that splits the brand's production between two of the world's largest food conglomerates. In most of the world, including Europe and Canada, the brand is owned and produced by the Swiss multinational Nestlé. However, in the United States, the brand is produced under license by The Hershey Company. Because of this split, manufacturing takes place in various locations including the United Kingdom (for European markets) and Pennsylvania (for the American market), reflecting its status as a localized global favorite.
