Description
This Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a rich, chocolate lover’s dream! Moist and dense like a brownie but baked in loaf form, it’s swirled with thick hot fudge and bursting with deep cocoa flavor. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of more fudge for the ultimate dessert experience!
Ingredients
- 1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce, plus extra for topping
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- Nonstick baking spray or butter (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or butter and line with parchment paper if desired for easy removal.Make Batter:
In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. Stir until well combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips if using.Layer Batter and Fudge:
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half the hot fudge sauce over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl slightly. Add the remaining batter on top, then drizzle and swirl in the rest of the hot fudge.Bake:
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. (Avoid overbaking for a fudgier texture.)Cool and Serve:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with additional hot fudge if desired.
Notes
- Swirling Tip: Don’t over-swirl the fudge or it may disappear into the batter. A few quick figure-eights are enough.
- Add-Ins: Try adding nuts, peanut butter chips, or chopped candy bars for a fun twist.
- Storage: Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Warm slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a gooey treat.
- Freezing: This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 2 months.
