Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95g) (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g), melted and slightly cooled (use quality European butter if possible)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g) (for icing)
  • 23 tbsp milk (3045 ml), add gradually for icing consistency (use dairy-free milk if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
  • About 24 mini chocolate chips or edible candy eyes (for mummy eyes)
  • Optional: pinch of pumpkin pie spice for brownie batter
  • Optional vegan substitutions: coconut oil instead of butter, flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg) instead of eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch pan with butter or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Ensure butter is warm but not hot.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until smooth but do not overmix.
  5. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; a few moist crumbs are perfect.
  7. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Prepare the mummy icing by whisking powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl. Add more milk a teaspoon at a time until thick but pipeable.
  9. Cut brownies into 24 bite-sized squares (about 2-inch pieces) using a serrated knife.
  10. Transfer icing to a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag with a tiny corner cut off.
  11. Pipe thin, irregular lines across each brownie square to mimic mummy bandages.
  12. Press two mini chocolate chips or candy eyes onto each mummy before the icing sets.
  13. Let the mummy brownies sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow icing to harden slightly.

Notes

Let brownies cool completely before icing to prevent melting. Use a piping bag with a small tip or a plastic bag with a tiny corner cut for thin, uneven icing lines. If icing is too runny, add more powdered sugar and chill briefly before piping. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
