Brownie mix: A box mix makes it easy! You can swap this for homemade brownies if you’re feeling adventurous, though.
Eggs: Necessary for binding the brownies. They add richness too.
Oil or butter: This brings moisture and texture to your brownies. Use melted butter for a richer flavor!
White chocolate melts: These create the mummy wraps. You can also use fondant for a fancier look.
Candy eyes: Super fun for decorations! Feel free to use any small candies if you can’t find these.
Sprinkles (optional): For added fun, grab some Halloween-themed sprinkles.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Spooky Mummy Brownies

Ready to get baking? Here’s how to whip up these delightful little mummies in a few easy steps!

Preheat the oven: Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your brownie mix according to the package instructions.
Mix the ingredients: Combine the brownie mix, eggs, and oil (or melted butter) in a bowl. Use a whisk to blend everything until smooth.
Pour into a pan: Grease a square baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Bake: Pop the brownies in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserts cleanly in the center.
Cool completely: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Drizzle: Use a fork or piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies in a ‘mummy wrap’ pattern.
Add candy eyes: While the chocolate is still warm, place the candy eyes on the brownies. Let them set for about 10-15 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

These Spooky Mummy Brownies are best served at Halloween parties or during a cozy night in while watching your favorite spooky flick. You can cut them into fun shapes with cookie cutters for a unique twist or serve them plain for a classic look. To make things even more festive, pair them with some pumpkin spice hot chocolate or your favorite fall beverage!

Tips For The Perfect Spooky Mummy Brownies

Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on your brownies when they’re baking. Overbaking can cause them to be dry.
Chill the chocolate: If your white chocolate is too runny, let it cool slightly before drizzling to create better mummy wraps.
Experiment with toppings: Want to switch things up? Try using different colored melts or edible glitter for a fun touch.
Storage: Keep leftover brownies in an airtight container for up to a week. They won’t stick around long, but just in case!

Q&A Section

Q: Can I use a different kind of chocolate?
A: Absolutely! Milk chocolate or even dark chocolate can be used if you want a different flavor profile.

Q: How do I make these gluten-free?
A: Look for a gluten-free brownie mix, and you’ll be all set for a spooky treat for everyone!

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can bake the brownies a day in advance and add the chocolate drizzle and eyes just before serving.

Q: What should I do if I can’t find candy eyes?
A: You can use small chocolate candies or even little marshmallows cut in half. Get creative with your decorations!
