While I have a serious sweet tooth and rarely turn down any dessert, brownies are my all-time favorite. I mean, they’re a treat made mostly of chocolate, butter, and sugar– what’s not to like?! From box mixes to homemade, they hit the spot every time. I do prefer them on the chewy side, but there’s room in my heart for the crispier edges as well. This unwavering love for brownies had me browsing for related recipes and that’s when I came across this Hot Fudge Brownie Bread. It instantly knew I had to try it.

The recipe only requires five simple ingredients and the batter comes together in minutes. You’ll start out by mixing a standard brownie mix with one teaspoon of baking powder. From there, you’ll heat a jar of hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 30 seconds or so to soften it up and make mixing easier. Pour the sauce into the mix along with a couple eggs and some vegetable oil. Stir it all together and your batter is ready to be transferred to your bread pan!

The bread will bake for just under an hour. You’ll know it’s done when you insert a knife or toothpick and it comes out mostly clean. If you want a chewier center then you can shorten the cook time to 45 minutes! Whether you’re team gooey or team crispy, this delicious brownie bread is sure to win you over. Give it a try next time you’re in need of a treat and see if you haven’t just found a new favorite recipe!
