Ingredient Lowdown

Let’s gather our ingredients! These brownies are surprisingly easy to make with everyday pantry staples. Here’s what you’ll need:

• For the Brownies:
• ½ Cup (113g) Butter, unsalted
• ¼ Cup (57g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• ¾ Cup (94g) All-Purpose Flour
• ½ Cup (100g) Granulated Sugar
• ½ Cup (100g) Brown Sugar, packed
• ⅓ Cup (33g) Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Salt
• For the Mummy Decoration:
• 1 cup (170g) White Chocolate Chips (or white candy melts)
• 32 Candy Eyes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Butter

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the butter and chocolate are melted and smooth.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the melted chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Bake the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out later. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.

Step 6: Cool the Brownies

Let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Cut and Decorate

Once the brownies are completely cool, cut them into 16 squares. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.

Step 8: Create the Mummy Wrap

Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Drizzle the white chocolate back and forth over each brownie square to create the mummy bandages.

Step 9: Add the Eyes

Place two candy eyes on each brownie, gently pressing them into the white chocolate.

Step 10: Set the Chocolate

Let the white chocolate set completely before serving or storing.

Better-Than-Grandma Tips

• Melting Chocolate: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate when melting it in the microwave. Overheating can cause it to seize up. Melt in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
• Drizzling Chocolate: For finer drizzling, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. This will give you more control and create those classic mummy bandages. For more tips like these, see our guide on making perfect brownies.
• Cooling the Brownies: Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and decorating. Warm brownies are more delicate and prone to crumbling.

Switch-Ups & Swaps
