How to Make Mummy Brownies For Halloween
You will need all the typical baking supplies for brownies including sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract and white icing and candy eyes to make your mummy.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bow, combine sugar, flour, cocoa, salt, packing powder, melted butter, eggs & vanilla.
Pour into a square baking pan. If not using silicone (in the photo) make sure your pan is greased well. Bake for 30 minutes or until you can poke a toothpick into the center of the brownie and it comes out dry.
Remove from oven and cool for several minutes. Once cool, cut the brownie into circles with a cookie cutter.
Use the white icing to create a mummy. Do a zig-zag design.
Place two candy eyes on the mummy brownie.
