Spooky Mummy Brownies Recipe

I love to whip up a batch of Brownies For Halloween by mixing a box brownie mix with eggs, water and oil plus melted white chocolate. When crowned with candy eyes, the brownies take on a whimsical mummy look that never fails to captivate little ghosts and goblins alike truly.

I’ve been experimenting a lot in the kitchen this Halloween, and my latest creation is the Spooky Mummy Brownies. I wanted to make something cool for the little ghosts and goblins, so i threw together a simple recipe that packs a ton of fun.

I started with a 15.25 oz box brownie mix, then mixed in 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs to bind everything together. After baking, i drizzled 1 cup melted white chocolate to give it a mysterious look before decorating with candy eyes (i usually use about 20 to 25, or more if you feel like it).

This recipe is an awesome example of how halloween desserts can be both easy and striking. Making these brownies turned out fantastic for a halloween party treat that is fun to create and even more exciting to eat.

Enjoy crafting your very own spooky masterpiece this halloween!

Why I Like this Recipe

I really love this recipe because it mixes the standard brownie taste with a fun twist of melted white chocolate that gives it a totally unique flavor. I also really like how simple it is to make – using just a box mix, water, oil and eggs makes it super easy to follow even when I’m in a rush. The candy eyes decoration is so cool and adds that spooky touch that makes the whole experience fun for a halloween treat. Plus, the whole process lets me be creative – I get to experiment with extra drizzles of white chocolate and adjust the design, which always makes me feel proud of what I made.

Ingredients

• Brownie mix: contains carbs and sugars for energy, but ain’t the healthiest option.
• Water: helps bind the mix and keeps things moist, essential in baking.
• Vegetable oil: adds fat for a fudgy texture, giving extra richness to each bite.
• Eggs: provide protein and help hold the mixture together, though they may not be low cholesterol.
• Melted white chocolate: makes it extra sweet and creamy but adds more fats.
• Candy eyes: purely decorative, adding a quirky spooky touch to the brownies.

Ingredient Quantities

• 1 box brownie mix (about 15.25 oz)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup melted white chocolate
• Candy eyes (around 20 to 25, or as needed for decorating)

How to Make this

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl, mix the brownie mix, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until just combined.

3. Slowly stir in the 1 cup melted white chocolate to the mixture.

4. Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean.

6. Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

7. Once they’re cool enough, cut the brownies into rectangular pieces.

8. Drizzle a little extra melted white chocolate on each brownie if you feel it helps the candy eyes stick better.

FAQ

Spooky Mummy Brownies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Brownie mix: If you dont have the box mix, you can whip up a homemade version with cocoa, flour, and sugar. It might require a little extra work but it gives you a more personalized brownie flavor.
• Water: You can swap water for milk to add a creamy touch. Milk gives a richer texture and a bit more flavor overall.
• Vegetable oil: Melted butter or even coconut oil makes a fun swap. Both add a slight richness though coconut oil may lend a hint of its tropical taste.
• Eggs: Try using unsweetened applesauce (about 1/4 cup per egg) if you need an eggless option or just want a change. It works well to bind everything together.
• Melted white chocolate: If white chocolate is hard to find, you can use a mix of melted white chocolate chips with a splash of heavy cream. It keeps the flavor way similar and is a neat trick I like.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure the melted white chocolate stays smooth by keeping it warm and stirring it slowly into the mix. If it starts to cool and thicken, it can clog up your batter which can mess up the final texture.
2. Dont overmix the batter when you combine everything. A few lumps are okay and actually help keep the brownies fudgy instead of turning them into cake.
3. Let the brownies cool completely before you stick on the candy eyes. If they are too warm the eyes might melt or slide off, and then your design just wont look as neat.
4. Try greasing or even lining your pan with parchment paper before pouring in the batter. It makes taking the brownies out a lot easier and prevents them from breaking apart when you cut them.
