Description

Indulge in the rich and fudgy Hot Fudge Brownie Bread, a decadent dessert that combines the gooey texture of brownies with the convenience of a loaf. This recipe features a marbled swirl of hot fudge sauce and semi-sweet chocolate chips baked to perfection, offering a moist, chocolatey treat that’s perfect for serving with ice cream or enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Bread Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (18–19 oz)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the ingredients together until just combined to avoid overmixing, which keeps the bread tender.
  3. Add Chocolate and Fudge: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce, swirling slightly into the batter to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it in.
  4. Fill the Pan: Pour the prepared batter into the greased or parchment-lined loaf pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating the bread is baked but still fudgy.
  6. Cool: Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps it set and makes slicing easier.
  7. Serve: Warm additional hot fudge sauce and drizzle it over the top of the sliced brownie bread before serving for an extra layer of indulgence.

Notes

  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an ultra-decadent treat.
  • For gooier bread, slightly underbake and allow it to set as it cools.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts or swirl in peanut butter for variation.
