Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Decoration

  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
  • 24 small candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out after cooling.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon sea salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a rubber spatula just until combined, making sure no streaks of flour remain.
  4. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the top looks set and the center no longer appears wet or glossy. Avoid overbaking to maintain fudginess.
  5. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan, approximately 1 hour.
  6. Cut the Brownies: Use the parchment overhang to lift the cooled brownies from the pan. Cut into 12 equal bars with a sharp knife.
  7. Melt the White Chocolate: Combine ½ cup white chocolate chips and 1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is nearly melted. Stop heating while some chips remain and stir until fully melted by residual heat.
  8. Create the Mummy Bandages: Use a spoon or fork to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the brownies in back-and-forth lines, creating a mummy wrapped effect. The lines can be varied in thickness for a more authentic look.
  9. Add the Eyes: Place 2 candy eyes on each brownie, securing each with a small dot of melted white chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid dense brownies.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely for clean cutting and better decoration adhesion.
  • When melting white chocolate, use short microwave bursts and stir often to prevent burning.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with vegan margarine and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
