Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Candy eyes (12 pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Follow the preparation instructions on the brownie mix box, combining the mix with the necessary eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake: Bake the brownies according to package directions, usually at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 12 even squares.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips gently, either in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals stirring between each or using a double boiler, until smooth.
- Decorate: Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the white chocolate in a zigzag pattern over each brownie square to create the look of mummy bandages.
- Add Candy Eyes: Immediately place candy eyes on top of each brownie while the white chocolate is still wet so they stick properly.
- Set: Let the white chocolate set completely before serving to ensure decorations stay in place.
Notes
- For best results, ensure brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent melting the candy eyes.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with white candy melts if preferred.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to adjust the drizzle for a more realistic mummy bandage effect.
- Store decorated brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Adding a pinch of salt to the brownie mix can enhance the chocolate flavor.
