Halloween Mummy Brownies Recipe

These mummy Halloween brownies serve 24 monsters with one batch, and take less than an hour to make!

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat or all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 tsp salt
• optional: chocolate chips for topping or mix-in

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

• 2/3 cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup butter, cold
• 2/3 cup cream cheese, cold
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (preferred) or vanilla extract
• candy eyes, to add later

Instructions

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and 1 tbsp vanilla with a whisk until smooth.
3. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Stir in flour, cocoa, and salt until combined.
5. Line a large brownie pan with tin foil or parchment paper, and spray with non-stick spray. Spread batter in prepared pan.

Cooking

1. Place brownies in oven. Bake brownies at least 25 mins.
2. While the brownies are baking, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave.
3. Start with 30 seconds, then give the chocolate chips a quick mix.
4. Return to the microwave for a smaller interval of 15 seconds, mixing after each time. Repeat until you melt white chocolate chips completely, then let cool to room temperature.
5. In a medium bowl, beat the cold butter until pale and fluffy. If needed, add 1 small drop of purple food colouring to make it less yellow.
6. Add the cooled melted chocolate, cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste to the butter. Mix everything until combined.
7. Check brownies at 25 minutes, continuing to bake up to 35 minutes or until the outer 3 inches are set.

Serving

1. Allow brownies to cool completely as you spoon the frosting into a piping bag.
2. Though you can freehand it, I recommend a piping tip #47 or #48, though any from #44-48 will make great mummy bandages.
3. Once brownies are done cooling, cut brownies into 12-24 rectangles. Remove brownies onto a platter or tray for decorating.
4. Pipe frosting over brownies; use a zigzag motion for mummy wrapping on top of the brownies.
5. For mummy eyes, decorate the brownies with white chocolate chips or white candy eyeballs.
6. Serve the cooled brownies on a favorite Halloween platter or in individual resealable cellophane bags.

Tips & Variations

• Cut the brownies into fun mummy shapes with a cookie cutter or two for extra Halloween fun.
• To up the ghoulish delight of this spooky treat, replace the cocoa powder with red Dutch cocoa powder for fudgy chocolate mummy taste with an eerie bloody hue.
• The brownies do not need to be totally set when removed from oven, as they will continue to cook in the pan.
• If you like them gooier, take them out on the earlier side. If you want them fully baked, wait until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
