How to Make Mummy Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup Butter
• 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips (Semisweet)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 3/4 Cup Flour (94g)
• 1/2 Cup Sugar (100g)
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (100g)
• 1/3 Cup Dutch Process Cocoa (33g)
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 32 Candy Eyes
• 1 Cup White Chocolate Chips (or Candy Wafers)

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and then melt for another 30 seconds. Keep stirring until the butter is fully melted.

2. In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together well.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.

4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until everything is mixed well.

5. Pour the brownie batter into a 9×9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or greased with cooking spray.

6. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift the brownies out and allow them to cool completely for about 30 minutes before slicing.

8. Once cooled, slice the brownies into 16 pieces (4 rows by 4 rows) and place them on a cooling rack.

9. In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until it is smooth. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate.

10. Transfer the melted chocolate into a sandwich zip-loc bag. Snip a small piece off the corner for drizzling.

11. Place 2 candy eyeballs on each brownie piece. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top, starting at the top and moving to the other side, then back again to create a mummy-like look. This should help secure the eyes in place.

12. Repeat the drizzle to form the mummy wraps around the brownies.

13. Allow the chocolate to cool for 10-15 minutes before storing the brownies.
