How to Make Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
Making Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a fun and straightforward process. Here’s how you can whip up this delicious dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 box (18.4 oz) fudge brownie mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. Stir until just blended.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder until smooth.
- Add the sour cream and mix gently to keep the batter moist and rich.
- Swirl in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips if using. Be careful not to overmix; you want visible ribbons of fudge.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and drizzle extra hot fudge over the surface if desired.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. A slight gooeyness is okay since it’s brownie bread.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing. Warm slices are delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How to Serve Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
Hot Fudge Brownie Bread tastes best warm! You can enjoy it plain, or for an extra treat, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You can also drizzle additional hot fudge sauce over the slices for extra chocolatey goodness.
How to Store Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
If you have leftovers (though they might not last long!), store the Hot Fudge Brownie Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate it to keep it fresh for up to a week. Just warm it up in the microwave before serving to bring back the gooey texture!
Tips to Make Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
- Make sure not to overmix the batter. This keeps the brownie texture nice and fudgy.
- For a fun twist, try adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
- If you like extra chocolate, add more hot fudge sauce into the batter or use chocolate chunks instead of or in addition to the chocolate chips.
Variation
You can make a peanut butter version of this recipe by swirling in peanut butter instead of or alongside the hot fudge. It creates a delightful combination of chocolate and peanut butter flavors!
FAQs
1. Can I use a different brownie mix?
Yes, feel free to use your favorite brownie mix. Just make sure it’s for fudgy brownies for the best results!
2. How do I know when the bread is done?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out mostly clean (with a little gooeyness), it’s done.
3. Can I freeze Hot Fudge Brownie Bread?
Absolutely! You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw it in the refrigerator when you’re ready to enjoy it!
