Hot Fudge Brownie Bread Recipe
Introduction
Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a delicious twist on classic brownies, combining rich chocolate batter with gooey hot fudge swirled throughout. This loaf-style treat is perfect for sharing or enjoying as a decadent snack.
Ingredients
- 1 batch brownie batter (prepared from your favorite recipe or mix)
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified for the brownie batter, usually 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Pour half of the brownie batter into the loaf pan, then drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over it.
- Step 3: Add the remaining brownie batter on top and swirl the rest of the hot fudge sauce throughout the batter using a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 5: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing and slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Variations
- For extra richness, use a fudgy brownie batter and warm the hot fudge sauce slightly before swirling to make it easier to mix.
- Try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter for added texture.
- Use a dark chocolate or salted caramel fudge sauce for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer individual servings, bake the batter in a muffin tin for hot fudge brownie muffins.

Store leftover Hot Fudge Brownie Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slices gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to enjoy warm fudge gooeyness.

FAQs
Can I use store-bought brownie mix for this recipe?
Yes, store-bought brownie mix works well and makes this recipe quick and easy. Follow the package instructions for preparing the batter before adding the fudge swirl.
How do I know when the brownie bread is done?
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. The hot fudge swirl may make it sticky, so avoid overbaking to keep it fudgy inside.

Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Make Hot Fudge Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to thicken.
- Swirl Fudge into Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased loaf pan. Drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over the batter. Add the remaining brownie batter on top, then drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter and fudge together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as a rich dessert or indulgent snack.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep it tender and moist.
- Wrap leftover brownie bread in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly before drizzling if it thickens too much after cooling.
- Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert combination.
