Hot Fudge Brownie Bread - thanksgiving dessert ideas

Every now and then, I stumble on a dessert that doesn’t just satisfy a craving—it hijacks my entire afternoon. Hot Fudge Brownie Bread did that. This is no ordinary loaf. It’s what happens when a brownie and a chocolate cake get a little too cozy. The texture? Dense, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey with a tender crumb that hugs the fork just right. It’s simple to make, but it tastes like you bribed a pastry chef to come over. I made this on a lazy Sunday, the kind where you’ve got a playlist going and your kitchen smells like a cozy cocoa hug. If you love thanksgiving dessert ideas, or just want an excuse to bake something outrageously good, this one’s your new favorite. The hot fudge seeps into every bite like it has a purpose. If you’re into sweet easy recipes, or hunting for healthy easy cake recipes (okay, this one’s emotionally healthy, at least), give this a whirl. I’d serve it next to Ice Cream Sandwich Cake or even alongside Chicken Rotel if we’re feeling wild. So yeah, it’s kind of a ride. And trust me—you want a ticket.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (18 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil until smooth.
  3. Scoop in the hot fudge and gently swirl it through the batter. Don’t overmix—it’s meant to be marbled.
  4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few fudgy crumbs.
  6. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle more hot fudge over the top before serving.
