Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (including ingredients listed on the box such as eggs, oil, and water)
Decorations
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Candy eyes (quantity to top brownies, approx. 24 for 12 brownies, 2 per brownie)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Follow the brownie mix box instructions by combining the mix with the specified eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the brownies according to package directions until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.
- Cut into Squares: Once cooled, cut the brownies into 12 even squares for uniform mummy treats.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
- Pipe the Bandages: Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle a zigzag pattern over each brownie square to mimic mummy bandages.
- Add Candy Eyes: Place two candy eyes on each brownie while the white chocolate is still warm so they adhere properly.
- Set the Chocolate: Allow the white chocolate decorations to set and harden completely at room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before decorating to prevent melting the white chocolate decorations.
- Use good quality white chocolate for smooth and easy piping.
- If candy eyes are unavailable, you can use small dots of black icing or edible markers on white chocolate dabs.
- Store decorated brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the brownie batter.
