Ingredients for mummy brownies
To make these spooky Halloween brownies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa
- 1 ¼ cup of sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup of flour
- ¼ teaspoon of sea salt
- 8 ounces of white chocolate melting wafers
- 18 edible candy eyes
You’ll also need a mixer, an 8 x 8-inch baking pan, a piping bag, and some parchment paper.
Directions for these Halloween-themed brownies
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F ( 180°C). Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper, with some extra paper to use as “handles” to remove the brownies after cooking.
Melt the butter in the microwave.
Place the cocoa and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat well over medium speed for about 2 minutes until the ingredients are well blended.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Look how rich and chocolatey this mixture is!
Add the flour and salt. Mix well, but don’t over-beat the batter, or the chocolate fudge brownies will be too chewy when baked.
Place the batter in it. See how thick and rich the batter looks?
THAT is the reason for making these homemade and not using brownie mixes!
Bake the Halloween brownies in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the brownies are done and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Be sure to allow the Halloween chocolate brownies to cool completely before you cut and decorate them.
Since the pan is small (just 8 x 8 inches), when you cut the brownies into 9 slices, they will be square.
To give them more of a mummy look, trim the edges of each brownie just a little, so that the shape is more rectangular. Guess where the trimmings went on mine? 😉
Let’s decorate the mummy brownies!
The fun part of Halloween recipes like this is decorating the treats.
Instead of using cloth bandages to make a mummy, the mummy bandages on these Halloween brownies will be made from melted white chocolate to make your Halloween even more tasty.
Place the brownies on some parchment paper. Separate them so that they have space between them. This makes decorating them easier.
Place the white chocolate melts into a bowl and heat them in the microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments until the white chocolate is melted and creamy.
Take care when melting the chocolate. White baking chocolate caramelizes easily (giving it brown specks) if you heat it too quickly.
Go in slow increments and stir after each increment to prevent this from happening.
Place the melted white chocolate into a disposable icing bag.
Snip off the end of the bag and pipe the icing over each brownie with bandage-like stripes, being sure to allow the melted chocolate to extend over the sides of the mummy brownies.
This gives the impression that the “bandages” are wrapped around each mummy.
For the final touch, while the icing is still soft, add two edible candy eyes to each mummy brownie.
Don’t worry too much if the bandages are uneven and make the eyes look lopsided. This adds to the mummy effect!
Tada! What an adorable mummy Halloween brownie!
