tips to make Hot Fudge Brownie Bread

  • Use good quality cocoa for a richer chocolate taste.
  • If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil during the last 10–15 minutes of baking.

  • Warm slices slightly before serving to get the fudgy texture.

  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Stir in a swirl of peanut butter or cream cheese into the batter before baking.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to boost the chocolate notes.

FAQs

Q: Can I use salted butter?
A: Yes. Reduce added salt or skip the 1/4 teaspoon if you use salted butter.

Q: Can I make this in a different pan?
A: You can use a 9×5 inch loaf pan or a similar size. Bake time may change if you use a different pan.

Q: How do I know when it is done?
A: Insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

A: Yes. Add up to 1 1/2 cups if you like extra chips. They will make the bread more studded and gooey.
