Ingredients:
- 1 box (19.5 oz) brownie mix (or homemade brownie recipe, enough for a 9×13-inch pan)
- Ingredients for brownie mix (as listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil for melting chocolate)
- Candy eyes (available at most grocery stores or online)
- Sprinkles or edible decorations (optional, for extra Halloween flair)
- Parchment paper (for lining the pan)
Instructions:
- Prepare and Bake Brownies:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake as directed on the box, usually 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Mummy Topping:
- Once the brownies are completely cooled, remove them from the pan and cut into squares or rectangles.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
- Create the Mummy “Bandages”:
- Place a few squares of brownies on a serving platter or baking sheet.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over each brownie in a crisscross pattern to create the look of mummy bandages. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control.
- Immediately place candy eyes on each brownie before the chocolate sets. You can also add edible decorations or sprinkles for extra Halloween fun.
- Let Set:
- Allow the white chocolate to set and harden before serving. You can speed up the process by placing the brownies in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Serve:
- Serve your Mummy Halloween Brownies at your Halloween party or fall gathering and watch them disappear!
