  Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or silicone nonstick baking mats. Line 9x5-inch loaf pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap, leaving lots of overhang.

  Heat 1/2 cup hot fudge topping as directed on jar until spreadable but not completely melted. (If too hot topping will melt whipped topping.) Meanwhile, spoon 2 containers (8 oz each) frozen whipped topping, thawed, into medium bowl. Fold hot fudge topping into whipped topping.
