Ingredients

For the Brownie Mix:

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

For the Hot Fudge Swirl:

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish (optional):

Whipped cream

Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Chocolate shavings or sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Prepare the Brownie Batter:

- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until smooth.

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.

Make the Hot Fudge Sauce:

- In another saucepan, combine heavy cream, chopped chocolate, and corn syrup. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Once combined, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.

Layering:

- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce on top. Pour the remaining brownie batter over this and finish with the rest of the hot fudge sauce, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Bake:

- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet). Be careful not to overbake, as you want the center to remain fudgy.

Cool and Serve:

- Once baked, allow the brownie bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or chocolate shavings if desired.

Enjoy: Slice and enjoy your indulgent hot fudge brownie bread, perfect for dessert or a rich treat anytime!
