Key Ingredients:

Hot Fudge Sauce: Jarred hot fudge sauce provides added gooeyness and chocolate intensity. Pick a good sauce for better taste.

Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating gives the oven time to reach the correct temperature when you put the batter in, which is a crucial step to ensure your loaf bakes evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
For Combined Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the brownie mix, hot fudge sauce, eggs and vegetable oil.
Mix Well: Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until no lumps remain in the batter and the ingredients are well blended. 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. This will ensure it does not stick and makes it easier to remove the bread.
Fill the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and fill it 3/4 full. This allows the bread to rise while it is baking without spilling over.
Step 4: Bake
Put in Oven: Set the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake about 45 minutes.
How to test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. The bread is done if a toothpick comes out clean or with a few wet crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 5: Cool
Cool in the Pan: Transfer the pan from the oven to a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool completely, still in the pan, which will also help it set and prevent it from cracking.
Unmold: When cooled completely, carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the bread and invert it onto a plate or cutting board to serve.
Serving Suggestions:
Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is great on its own but can be taken to the next level with these easy serving suggestions:
With Ice Cream: Serve warm slices alongside a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a decadent dessert.
Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a handful of fresh raspberries or strawberries to make it look beautiful.
Chocolate Drizzle: Heat more hot fudge sauce and drizzle over the bread for an extra gooey treat.
In addition, powdered sugar dusting: Creates a nice shine and adds sweetness
Storage and Reheating Tips:
This brownie bread helps itself, too, so you’ll be all set to hang out with it for days to come.
Room Temperature: Brownie bread leftovers can be kept in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigeration: For extended storage, refrigerate up to 5 days. Serve at room temperature or warm slightly for best texture.
Freezing: Individual slices can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then put inside a freezer-safe bag, where they’ll keep for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge or at room temperature before enjoying.
Reheating: Microwave to warm individual slices for 10-15 seconds for a gooey, fresh out of the oven experience.
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.
Mint Chocolate Twist: Use a few drops of peppermint extract in the batter for a holiday-inspired minty cupcake.
Peanut Butter Swirl: Stir spoonfuls of peanut butter into the batter, and swirl it gently before baking for a chocolate-peanut butter combination.
Salted Caramel Brownie Bread: Drizzle caramel sauce on your batter in a Mason jar and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before baking for a delicious sweet/salty combination.
