Ingredients You’ll Need

1 box brownie mix* (plus ingredients listed on the box – eggs, oil, and water)
or use your favorite homemade brownie recipe
1 cup white frosting (buttercream or store-bought)
Candy eyes
Piping bag or resealable sandwich bag

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Brownies

Prepare your brownies according to the package directions (or your own recipe). Bake in a rectangular pan – 8×8 for thick brownies or 9×13 for thinner ones. Let them cool completely before decorating.

Step 2: Slice Into Squares

Once cooled, cut your brownies into squares or rectangles. These will be the “mummy bodies.”

Step 3: Pipe the Bandages

Spoon your white frosting into a piping bag (or a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off). Pipe criss-cross lines across each brownie to make the mummy’s bandages. Don’t worry about being perfect — the messier, the better!

Step 4: Add the Eyes

While the frosting is still soft, gently press two candy eyes into each brownie. If you don’t have candy eyes, pipe small white frosting dots and place a mini chocolate chip or sprinkle in the center.

Step 5: Let Them Set

Allow the frosting to firm up for about 15 minutes before serving or packaging.

Tips for Success

Chill before cutting: Refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes to get clean edges.
No piping bag? Use a spoon or butter knife to drizzle frosting instead.
Want thicker bandages? Use fondant strips for a 3-D effect.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Fun Variations

Vampire Mummies: Use red frosting for bandages and black eyes.
Monster Mummies: Tint the frosting green or purple for a fun twist.
Candy Topping: Add Halloween sprinkles* or mini M&Ms* around the edges.
Cupcake Version: Try this same decorating idea on top of cupcakes!

Perfect for Halloween Parties or Classroom Treats
