Mummy Brownies
Chocolatey, fudgy, and just a little creepy these Mummy Brownies are the perfect mix of sweet and spooky, with gooey chocolate, playful bandage drizzles, and candy eyes peeking out for a Halloween treat that disappears faster than a ghost at a party.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips plus extra for melting
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts for bandages
- Candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
- 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.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool brownies completely in the pan, then lift out with the parchment and cut into squares or rectangles.
- Melt the white chocolate chips, transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag, snip a small corner, and drizzle in a crisscross pattern to mimic mummy bandages.
- While chocolate is still wet, press candy eyeballs into place.
Notes
Let brownies cool completely before decorating so the drizzle doesn’t melt into the surface. For a ghoulish touch, add a drop of red gel under one of the eyes.
