This Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a rich, fudgy dream come true! Made with brownie mix, hot fudge sauce, and simple ingredients for a decadent treat.
You know that moment when you just need chocolate? Like, not just a square of dark chocolate or a tiny little brownie bite—but full-on, unapologetic, rich, gooey, chocolate overload? That was me last week.
I wanted brownies, but I also wanted something warm and sliceable, like banana bread. So I thought—why not mash them together and make Hot Fudge Brownie Bread? Best. Decision. Ever.
This beauty is exactly what it sounds like: a thick, fudgy loaf that’s basically a brownie disguised as bread. And just when you think it can’t get any better? You pour warm hot fudge all over the top and let it set into a glossy, chocolatey masterpiece.
If you love easy desserts that taste like they belong in a bakery display case, this one’s for you.
Why You’ll Love This Hot Fudge Brownie Bread Recipe?
- Only 4 Ingredients: Brownie mix, hot fudge, eggs, and oil. That’s it!
- Next-Level Fudginess: This is not a fluffy, cake-like bread. It’s dense, rich, and incredibly moist.
- Hot Fudge Heaven: There’s hot fudge inside the batter and drizzled on top. Chocolate lovers, rejoice.
- Perfect for Sharing… or Not: You could slice it up for guests. Or, you know, grab a fork and eat it straight from the pan. No judgment.
Ingredient Notes:
Before we dive in, let’s talk about what makes this recipe so good:
- Brownie Mix: Use your favorite boxed brownie mix, but make sure it’s the fudgy kind. No cake-like brownies here!
- Hot Fudge Sauce: This is the magic ingredient. Half goes into the batter, half gets poured on top for an insane finishing touch.
- Eggs: Help bind everything together and give the bread structure.
- Canola Oil: Keeps the bread super moist. You can swap it with melted butter for an even richer flavor.
How To Make Hot Fudge Brownie Bread?
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 box of brownie mix
- 12 ounces of hot fudge sauce
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup canola oil
Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and thick. It should look like pure chocolate heaven at this point.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-55 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, you’re good to go.

If the toothpick is still wet with batter, give it another 5-10 minutes and check again.
Step 4: Let It Cool (The Hardest Part!)
Once it’s done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Try not to cut into it right away, I know it’s tempting!
Step 5: The Best Part—Hot Fudge Drizzle
Warm up the remaining 12 ounces of hot fudge sauce until it’s pourable, then drizzle it all over the top of the loaf. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy every rich, fudgy bite.
Storage Options:
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for up to 5 days. Warm up slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before eating.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temp or microwave for a quick fix.
Variations and Substitutions:
Want to get creative? Here are some fun ways to switch things up:
- Nutty Crunch: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
- Extra Chocolatey: Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips for double the chocolate goodness.
- Espresso Kick: Add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder to enhance the rich cocoa flavor.
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl in ¼ cup peanut butter before baking for a Reese’s-inspired twist.
What to Serve with Hot Fudge Brownie Bread?
This bread is a showstopper on its own, but if you want to take it to the next level, try pairing it with:
- Vanilla Ice Cream – Because warm brownies + ice cream = pure bliss.
- Whipped Cream – A dollop of fluffy whipped cream adds a nice contrast.
- Fresh Berries – Strawberries or raspberries bring a tart balance to the richness.
- Coffee or Espresso – A bold, hot coffee complements the sweetness perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a mix?
Absolutely! Just make sure it’s thick enough to hold its shape in a loaf pan.
Can I make this without eggs?
Yes! Substitute each egg with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg).
Can I use a different type of oil?
Definitely! Melted butter, coconut oil, or vegetable oil all work well.
