Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (18–19 oz)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate & Toppings
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fudge brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the batter is fully combined and smooth, ensuring there are no dry pockets of mix.
- Add Chocolate and Fudge: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute evenly. Warm the hot fudge sauce just until it’s pourable but not hot, then fold it lightly into the batter to create swirls of rich fudge throughout.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool slightly. Before serving, drizzle additional warm hot fudge over the top for an extra layer of indulgence.
Notes
- For a truly decadent treat, serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- You can customize this bread by folding in nuts, a teaspoon of espresso powder, or chopped candy bars to add texture and flavor.
- Make sure the hot fudge sauce is only slightly warmed so it swirls nicely in the batter without melting the chocolate chips entirely.
- Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
