Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare Your Pan

Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.

Step 2 – Make the Brownie Batter

Melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short microwave bursts. Stir until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Add the chocolate mixture, then fold in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined.

Step 3 – Bake to Fudgy Perfection

Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes. A toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 4 – Cool & Cut

Cool brownies completely in the pan. Lift out with the parchment overhang and cut into squares or rectangles.

Step 5 – Create the Mummy Design

Melt the white chocolate chips, transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag, and snip a small corner. Drizzle in a crisscross pattern to mimic mummy bandages. While the chocolate is still wet, press candy eyeballs into place.

Tips for the Best Mummy Brownies

• Let the brownies cool fully before decorating to prevent the drizzle from melting into the surface.
• If your white chocolate thickens while drizzling, warm it gently for a few seconds.
• For a more “ghoulish” look, add a drop of red gel under one of the eyes.

Variations & Fun Twists

• Swap white chocolate for orange candy melts for a pumpkin-inspired mummy.
• Stir in crushed cookies or peppermint candy to the batter for a surprise crunch.
• Turn them into brownie pops by adding sticks before decorating.

Storage & Freezing Instructions

Store decorated brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap individually and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months — decorated or undecorated.
