Instructions
- Preparation:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan (approximately 9×5 inches) with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking. - Prepare the Brownie Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the box of brownie mix with the 3 large eggs. Add the ⅓ cup of canola oil and the two jars of hot fudge sauce. Stir the mixture together until it forms a smooth, thick batter. You’ll notice that the batter is richer than a typical brownie mix due to the addition of the hot fudge sauce, which adds both flavor and moisture. - Transfer to Loaf Pan:
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture and ensure that it’s evenly distributed across the pan. - Baking:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. Start checking at the 30-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the bread is done. If it comes out with wet batter, bake for a few more minutes and check again. - Cooling:
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. This will allow the bread to set properly and make it easier to slice. - Topping (Optional):
For an extra layer of indulgence, drizzle some additional hot fudge sauce on top of the cooled bread before serving. This will give it that extra burst of chocolaty goodness.
