Halloween Mummy Brownies
These mummy-inspired Halloween brownies are perfect for your next haunted gathering or simply to satisfy a monstrous sweet tooth.
Ingredients
For Brownies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips optional, but a delightful addition!
For Decorating:
- 12 Twix bars mini size
- cookie icing white
- edible eyes
Instructions
For Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9"x13" pan or line it with parchment paper for easy brownie removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure a lump-free batter and an even texture for your brownies.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. If you're adding chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into 12 rectangles.
For the Mummy Decorations:
- Top each brownie with a mini Twix bar.
- Press two edible eyeball candies and gently press them into each mini Twix bar, towards the top of the bar.
- Using the cooking icing, draw a swirl back and forth over the Twix bar to create a mummy effect. Depending on just how steady your hand is, it may be easiest to put the icing into a piping bag for this step.
- Set them aside and allow the icing to firm up a bit before serving your Halloween brownies!
