Quick Facts

Yield: Serves 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade), plus extra for drizzling

How I Make It

Step 1:

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together **melted butter** and **granulated sugar** until nice and smooth. Then crack in the **eggs**, one at a time, stirring until everything’s combined like a luscious chocolate mixture.

Step 2:

In a separate bowl, sift together the **flour**, **cocoa powder**, **salt**, and **baking powder**. Slowly fold these dry ingredients into your wet chocolatey base. This is the moment the batter gets thick and wonderfully fudgy—that’s the good stuff!

Step 3:

Gently fold in the **semi-sweet chocolate chips**, then pour half the batter into your loaf pan. Dollop half of the **hot fudge sauce** over the batter and swirl a little with a knife. Pour in the rest of the batter and repeat with the remaining fudge sauce—this layering gives you that ooey-gooey center.

Step 4:

Bake for about 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached—not clean, because fudgy is the goal here! If the top starts browning too fast, loosely cover it with foil.

Step 5:

Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the molten fudge set a bit, so your slices hold together without a chocolate waterfall all over your plate (unless you want that!).

Step 6:

Serve warm, drizzled with extra hot fudge sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that next-level sweet finish.

Variations & Tips

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for some crunch without losing that fudgy magic.
Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks for a richer, deeper flavor.
If your batter feels too thick, a splash of milk helps loosen it a bit without losing fudginess.
Use a toothpick dipped in melted butter or oil to swirl the fudge sauce for beautiful marbling.
For a festive touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to balance the sweetness.

How I Like to Serve It

This brownie bread is perfect for weekend brunch as a chocolate-y surprise or as a cozy after-dinner treat by candlelight. It’s also a great way to impress friends at a potluck because who can say no to fudge? Plus, it pairs beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee or even a cold glass of milk on a summer afternoon.

Notes

Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to revive that gooey, hot-fudge magic.

Closing: This Hot Fudge Brownie Bread nails that perfect fudgy texture with a ripple of indulgent hot fudge, making every bite feel like a little celebration at home.
