Mummy Brownies Recipe

Introduction

Mummy Brownies are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any festive day. These easy-to-make brownies are decorated with white chocolate to look like mummy bandages, complete with candy eyes that bring them to life.

Nine square chocolate brownies are placed on a dark slate board, each decorated with white icing bands that look like mummy wrappings, with two round white candy eyes and small black candy dots for a mouth on top. The brownies have a rich, dark brown color with a shiny chocolate glaze. Around the slate board, there are scattered small orange and white round candies, and to the back, a white bowl filled with colorful orange, yellow, and white candy balls with a spoon inside, a small bowl of white cream, and a black mug filled with a dark beverage. Two small decorative pumpkins, one orange and one black with white stripes, are also visible. The surface is changed to a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 box of brownie mix (plus ingredients needed to prepare it, usually eggs, oil, and water)
1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts

Tube of black gel icing
Mini candy eyes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the brownie mix and prepare the batter as directed.
Step 2: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan and bake according to the package directions. Allow the brownies to cool completely.

Step 3: Once cooled, cut the brownies into equal-sized rectangles.
Step 4: Place the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 5: Using the melted white chocolate, drizzle or pipe a random criss-cross pattern over each brownie to mimic mummy bandages.

Step 6: While the white chocolate is still soft, press two mini candy eyes onto each brownie. Use the black gel icing to add tiny dots for pupils if desired. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the brownie batter before baking.
Use colored candy melts for different mummy bandage colors or themed variations.

Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice to the batter for a seasonal twist.
If you don’t have candy eyes, small chocolate chips or icing dots work well as alternatives.

Storage

Store your mummy brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Before serving, allow refrigerated brownies to come to room temperature for softer texture. Avoid freezing, as the candy melts may lose texture when thawed.

How to Serve

There are eight square brownie pieces arranged on a round black slate tray, each about two layers thick. The bottom layer is a dark, moist brownie, topped with a shiny, smooth chocolate glaze. On top of each brownie are two white candy eyeballs, each with a small black dot in the center, placed near the top edge. White icing is piped across the brownies in straight and wavy lines, resembling mummy bandages, covering parts of the glaze and giving a wrapped look. Small black round candies form a smiling mouth below the eyes on each brownie. Around the slate tray are scattered small round candies in orange and white colors, as well as two small clear glass bowls, one filled with a white creamy substance and the other empty. In the background, there is a white bowl filled with colorful small round candies in orange, yellow, and white, and a black cup filled with a dark liquid. Two pumpkins, one orange and one black with white stripes, are placed to the side on a white marbled texture surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these brownies from scratch instead of using a mix?

Absolutely! Any brownie recipe you prefer will work well. Just ensure the brownies are fully cooled before decorating.

How do I prevent the candy eyes from sliding off?

Press the candy eyes gently into the melted white chocolate before it sets. This acts as glue to hold them in place firmly once the chocolate hardens.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

1 brownie mix box (includes ingredients needed as per box, typically eggs, oil, and water)

Decorations

1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
Tube of black gel icing
Mini candy eyes

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Batter: Preheat your oven following the temperature instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions, typically combining the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the prepared batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan. Bake as instructed on the box until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to avoid breaking during decoration.
Cut Brownies: Once fully cooled, cut the brownies into equal rectangular pieces for uniform ‘mummy’ treats.

Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Decorate with White Chocolate: Using a piping bag or spoon, drizzle or pipe the melted white chocolate over each brownie in a random crisscross pattern to resemble mummy bandages.
Add Eyes and Detail: While the chocolate is still moist, place two mini candy eyes on each brownie. Use the black gel icing to add small dots on the eyes to create pupils if desired. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.

Notes

Use parchment paper to prevent brownies from sticking and for easy removal.
Make sure brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent melting or running of the white chocolate.
If preferred, use white candy melts instead of white chocolate chips for easier melting and smoother consistency.

The black gel icing pupils are optional but add a cute realistic touch to the candy eyes.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
