Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (120g) white frosting or royal icing
- Candy eyes
- Optional: Gel food coloring for extra spooky designs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before removing them using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut the brownies into rectangles or squares. Fill a piping bag with white frosting and use a flat tip to pipe horizontal lines across each brownie, mimicking mummy bandages.
- Place two candy eyes on each brownie. Adjust frosting lines as needed for a spooky yet adorable look!
Notes
[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies.’, ‘Ensure brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent frosting from melting.’, ‘Test frosting lines on parchment paper before decorating.’, ‘Store candy eyes in a dry place to prevent sticking or melting.’]
