Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Why You Should Take A Quick Savory Break Before Then Preheating allows the oven to reach the right temperature by the time you place the batter inside, which is exactly what you want for even baking of your loaf.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
For Combined Ingredients: In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, hot fudge sauce, eggs and vegetable oil.
Mix Well: Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir until the batter is lump-free and the ingredients are thoroughly integrated. You’ll know that it’s go time when the batter is thick and shiny — telling you that all the elements are integrated.
Step 3: Pour into Pan
If using, grease the pan: Grease the loaf pan liberally with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. It helps ensure that it does not stick and also that it comes out easily.
Pour into Pan: Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan filling about 3/4 full That gives the bread room to volume as it bakes, without pouring over.
Step 4: Bake
Put in Oven: Place loaf pan in preheated oven and heat about 45 minutes.
How to test for doneness: Stick a toothpick into the center of the bread. The bread is done if a toothpick comes out clean, or with a few wet crumbs (but not wet batter).
Step 5: Cool
Cool in the Pan: Place the pan in the oven on a wire rack. Let the bread cool completely, in the pan, which will also give it a chance to set and it shouldn’t crack.
Unmold: When completely cool, run a knife carefully around the edges to loosen the bread, and invert onto a plate or cutting board to serve.
Serving Suggestions:
Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is great on its own but becomes something else entirely with these simple serving suggestions:
With Ice Cream: Serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an over-the-top dessert.
Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and handfuls of fresh raspberries or strawberries for beauty.
Chocolate Drizzle: Microwave additional hot fudge sauce, and drizzle on the bread for an extra gooey treat.
In addition, powdered sugar dusting: Creates a nice shine and adds sweetness

Recipe Variations:
Nutty Brownie Bread: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for that classic brownie flavor and crunch. Espresso Chocolate Bread: Adding 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder will enhance the chocolate flavor with a soft coffee punch.
