Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1 box (18.3 oz / 520g) brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) water
For the Mummy Decoration:
- 1 cup (120g) white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- 12–20 edible candy eyes
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) or as directed on the brownie mix package. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Brownie Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Step 3: Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake according to the time on the brownie mix package (usually 35-40 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
Step 4: Cut the Brownies
Once the brownies have cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut them into 12-16 squares, depending on the size you prefer.
Step 5: Melt the White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts or white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
Step 6: Decorate the Brownies
Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag. Snip the corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the brownies in zig-zag lines to mimic mummy bandages.
Step 7: Add the Eyes
While the chocolate is still soft, gently press two candy eyes onto each brownie.
Step 8: Let the Chocolate Set
Allow the brownies to set fully before serving or packaging for parties. Let the chocolate harden completely to ensure the eyes stay in place.

FAQs
