Jessy’s Pro Tips for the Best Hot Fudge Brownie Bread

1. Use High Quality Chocolate

The richness of this bread depends on the quality of your chocolate. Choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor.

2. Do Not Overbake

If you want that soft, fudgy center, be careful not to overbake. The edges should be set, but the center should remain slightly gooey.

3. Let It Rest Before Slicing

Freshly baked brownie bread will be very soft. Letting it rest for at least 10 minutes allows it to firm up and makes slicing easier.

4. Experiment with Add-ins

This recipe is incredibly versatile. Try adding:

• A handful of chopped nuts for a crunchy texture.

• A swirl of peanut butter for extra creaminess.

• A sprinkle of sea salt on top to enhance the chocolate flavor.
