Irresistible Spooky Mummy Brownies Recipe for Halloween Fun

Spooky Mummy Brownies Recipe

 

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create these spooky brownies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter – for that rich flavor and fudgy texture
  • 2 cups granulated sugar – sweetness is key!
  • 4 large eggs – helps bind everything together
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – for that warm, comforting flavor
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour – our base for the brownie mix
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – rich chocolate goodness!
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder – to give them a little lift
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt – to enhance the sweetness
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips – for the mummy bandages
  • Mini chocolate chips – for the eyes (about 24)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that we have our ingredients, let’s bring these spooky creation to life!

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for ensuring that your brownies bake evenly!
  2. Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it’s completely liquid. Let it cool slightly before proceeding!
  4. Mix in Sugar and Eggs: Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir. Then, one by one, add the eggs and the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
  6. Pour into the Pan: Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake: Pop the brownies into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before decorating them, about 30 minutes.
  9. Decorate with White Chocolate: While waiting, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies to create mummy bandages!
  10. Add the Eyes: Place two mini chocolate chips on each brownie square to give your mummies some adorable eyes. And voilà, you’re done!

Pro Tips & Variations

Here are a few fun twists and tips to make your Spooky Mummy Brownies even more exciting:

  • Swaps: You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version of these brownies. They’ll still turn out deliciously fudgy!
  • Add Some Spice: Enhance the flavor by mixing in a teaspoon of cinnamon or espresso powder to the brownie batter for a little extra depth.
  • Top with Sprinkles: If you’re feeling festive, add some Halloween-themed sprinkles on top of the white chocolate before it sets for an extra pop of color!
  • Different Chocolates: Try using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These Spooky Mummy Brownies are not only tasty but also visually delightful! Serve them on a spooky platter at your next Halloween gathering, or package them up as cute little treats for friends and neighbors. They pair wonderfully with a hot cup of apple cider or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the rich chocolate flavor. Trust me, seeing the joy on people’s faces when they bite into these goofy little mummies will make your heart swell!

Storage Tips

To keep your brownies fresh and tasty:

  • Refrigerate: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They’re delicious cold!
  • Freeze: If you want to save some for later, wrap brownies individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying!
  • Reheat: To rewarm, simply microwave a brownie for about 10-15 seconds; the warmth will bring back that fudgy goodness!

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate for the bandages?

Absolutely! While white chocolate gives that classic mummy look, you could use milk chocolate or even different colored melting chocolates if you’d like to get creative this Halloween!

Are these brownies too sweet?

They have a nice balance with the cocoa and the slight saltiness from the mix! If you’re worried about sweetness, consider using semi-sweet chocolate or reducing the sugar slightly.

Can I make mini mummies instead of large brownies?

Definitely! Just pour the brownie batter into a mini muffin tin or a smaller baking dish. Adjust the baking time to about 10-15 minutes for mini brownies!

What if I don’t have white chocolate chips?

No problem! You could use any melted chocolate you have on hand. Alternatively, you can blend together powdered sugar and milk to create an icing and drizzle that over the brownies instead!
