1. Can I make Mummy Brownies ahead of time?

Absolutely! Mummy Brownies can be made in advance. In fact, they store beautifully. Just let them cool completely after baking, then keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months, either before or after adding the mummy decorations.

2. Can I use milk chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate for the brownie base?

Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate chips for semisweet chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter, less bitter flavor. Keep in mind that using milk chocolate will result in a milder chocolate flavor in the brownies, but they will still be delicious!

3. What can I use if I don’t have candy eyeballs?

If you can’t find candy eyeballs, you can easily use any small candy, such as M&M's or chocolate chips, as eyes. Just make sure they are small enough to fit on each brownie square without covering too much of the surface.

4. How do I prevent the white chocolate from hardening too quickly when decorating?

If the white chocolate is hardening too quickly as you decorate, try adding a small amount of vegetable oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) to the melted chocolate. This will help it flow more smoothly and give you more time to create the mummy bandages.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean.
Let the brownies cool for at least 30 minutes before lifting them out of the pan using the parchment paper and cutting them into 16 squares.
Place two candy eyeballs on top of each brownie.
Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a zip-loc bag.
Snip a small corner off the bag and drizzle the melted white chocolate over the brownies in a criss-cross pattern to create mummy bandages.
Allow the chocolate to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips for both the semisweet and white chocolate.
If you prefer a milk chocolate flavor, substitute the semisweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate.
For a smoother white chocolate drizzle, you can add a small amount of vegetable oil to the melted white chocolate if it’s too thick.
These brownies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
For a fun twist, try adding Halloween-themed sprinkles or crushed candy into the batter.
