🍫Why You'll Love This Halloween Recipe

Mummy brownies are the highest reward-to-effort Halloween dessert: bake any brownie recipe (or a box mix — no judgment), drizzle white chocolate, add eyes. The bandage drizzle hides cracks and uneven tops, so they always look perfect. Fudgy, cute, done.

🧺Ingredients for Mummy Brownies

  • 1 box (18.3 oz) fudgy brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 24 candy eyeballs

👩‍🍳How to Make Mummy Brownies Step by Step

  1. Bake. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water; spread in a parchment-lined 8×8 pan. Bake 24–28 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into 12 squares.
  2. Mummify. Melt white chocolate with coconut oil. Drizzle zigzags over each brownie for bandages, leaving a face gap.
  3. Eyes. Press two candy eyes into each gap before the chocolate sets. Harden 15 minutes.

💡 Tips for the Best Mummy Brownies

Cool brownies fully or the white chocolate melts into a puddle. Underbake slightly — a toothpick with moist crumbs means fudgy, not dry. Drizzle from a zip-top bag with the corner snipped for control. Leave the face gap clear of drizzle so the eyes pop.

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade brownies instead of a mix?

Absolutely! Any 8x8 fudgy brownie recipe works. The mummy drizzle is just decoration on top of your favorite brownie.

How do I keep brownies fudgy, not cakey?

Pull them when a toothpick shows moist crumbs, not clean. They keep baking in the hot pan as they cool — slightly underbaked is the goal.

How long do mummy brownies keep?

Airtight at room temperature for 3-4 days. The white chocolate shell actually helps them stay fresh.
