Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
  • About 24 candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients gradually into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula just until combined. Avoid overmixing—some streaks of flour are okay. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few fudgy crumbs but not wet batter. The brownies should feel set but soft when you press the surface gently.
  7. Remove the brownies from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Let them cool fully (about 1 hour) before decorating.
  8. Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Stir until smooth and slightly runny but not too thin.
  9. Cut brownies into bite-sized squares (about 1½ inch / 4 cm each). Place candy eyes on each square, gently pressing to secure.
  10. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small tip/snipped corner. Draw thin, uneven lines across each brownie bite to mimic mummy bandages. Let the lines overlap slightly but don’t cover the candy eyes completely.
  11. Allow the white chocolate to harden at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or speed up by chilling in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Notes

Do not overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy. Cool completely before decorating to prevent white chocolate from melting or smearing. Use a piping bag for neat mummy wraps. Thin white chocolate with vegetable oil for easier piping. Practice piping on parchment paper first. Work in small batches when melting white chocolate to avoid hardening mid-piping. Candy eyes can be substituted with small dots of melted dark chocolate or black icing on white chocolate discs.
