Mummy Brownies | Fun and Easy Halloween Treats

Mummy Brownies are the cutest spooky treat you’ll bake this Halloween. They’re fudgy, chocolaty, and wrapped in gooey white chocolate “bandages” with silly candy eyes. Perfect for parties, bake sales, or just a family night of fun.

Why You’ll Love These Mummy Brownies

Halloween desserts should be fun, simple, and just a little spooky. That’s exactly why you’ll love these Mummy Brownies. They use pantry staples like cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and sugar, so you won’t be hunting down hard-to-find ingredients.

The rich chocolate flavor gives you that classic brownie taste, while the candy eyes and white chocolate drizzle add a playful Halloween twist. Kids get a kick out of decorating them, and adults love how impressive they look on a dessert table.

These brownies are also practical. They bake in about 30 minutes, cool quickly, and can be made ahead of time. As a result, they’re perfect if you’re hosting a Halloween party, need something festive for a school bake sale, or just want a sweet family treat.

Best of all, they’re customizable. You can make them fudgy or more cake-like, switch up the drizzle, or even use fun-colored candy melts. No matter what, you’ll have a dessert that’s as tasty as it is spooky.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to make your Mummy Brownies:

• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour (94g)
• ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
• ½ cup brown sugar (100g)
• ⅓ cup Dutch process cocoa powder (33g)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy wafers (for drizzle)
• 32 candy eyeballs

Substitution tips:

You can swap semisweet chips for milk chocolate chips for a sweeter brownie. Dutch process cocoa can be replaced with regular baking cocoa. For smoother drizzle, choose candy melts or add a little vegetable oil to the chocolate.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Brownie Batter

Start by melting butter and semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth. Next, stir in vanilla and eggs until combined. In another bowl, whisk flour, both sugars, cocoa, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

Bake the Brownies

Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment or lightly grease it. Pour the batter in and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick: it should come out with only a few moist crumbs, not raw batter.

Cool and Slice

Cool the brownies in the pan for 5 minutes, then lift them out onto a rack. Let them cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 16 squares. This helps them set so they won’t crumble when cut.

Decorate Like Mummies

Press two candy eyeballs on each square. Melt white chocolate in the microwave, again using 30-second intervals. Transfer to a sandwich bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle in a zigzag pattern across each brownie. Make sure the drizzle passes over the eyes so they stick. Let the chocolate set for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

If you prefer fudgy brownies, stick to two eggs. For a more cake-like texture, add one extra egg. Always avoid overmixing once you add the flour, as this can make brownies tough. When decorating, keep the drizzle light and back-and-forth to mimic mummy wraps. If your chocolate feels too thick, stir in a teaspoon of vegetable oil for a smoother flow. Also, check brownies a few minutes early, since every oven bakes differently. Overbaking leads to dry results.

Storage and Freezing Guide

Keep cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If stacking, place parchment between layers so the drizzle doesn’t stick. For longer storage, you can freeze them decorated or undecorated. Wrap tightly in plastic and place in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll last up to three months. Thaw decorated brownies at room temperature for best results.
