Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18.4 oz) of your favorite fudge brownie mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality white chocolate chips
- 48 small candy eyes
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Step 1: Bake the Brownie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Stir until just combined, ensuring you don’t overmix the batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
- Step 2: Cut into Bite-Sized Squares: Once the brownies are entirely cool, lift them out of the pan and place them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the block into 24 even squares. For the cleanest cuts, wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between each slice. Arrange the brownie bites on a piece of parchment paper to prepare them for the “wrapping” process.
- Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Bandages: Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out. Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a small plastic zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
- Step 4: Wrap the Mummies and Add Eyes: Drizzle the white chocolate in a back-and-forth zigzag motion across each brownie bite to create the appearance of mummy bandages. Leave a small gap near the top third of the brownie for the eyes. Immediately place two candy eyes in the gap before the chocolate sets. Let the brownies sit for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
