Vegetable oilquantity as directed by the brownie mix
Optional: 1 teaspoon of baking powder for a lighter texture
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box, typically around 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Loaf Pan: Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with the eggs and oil as directed on the box. If you're adding baking powder, mix it in now.
Add Hot Fudge Sauce: Gently warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften. Stir it into the brownie batter until well combined.
Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Cooling: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving: Slice the bread and serve as is, or with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of extra hot fudge sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
For a moister bread, consider adding an extra egg to the mix.
If you like a crunchy top, sprinkle a bit of granulated sugar over the batter before baking.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Storage:
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it well and refrigerate or freeze.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free brownie mix.
Adding an extra egg makes the bread moister.
Sprinkling granulated sugar on top before baking adds a crunchy crust.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
