How to Make Brownie Mummies
So, here’s the best part: depending on how much time you have, you can either make a pan of homemade brownies (our favorite) or buy a box and bake it up!
We use our delicious homemade Dark Chocolate Brownies for this recipe because they are so darn good! This is what chocolate dreams are made of! Just make sure you cool completely in the pan!
1. CUT CIRCLES
Once your brownies are baked and cooled, cut brownies into circles with a biscuit cutter. You will likely get (9) 1 ½ inch circles from an 8×8 pan.
RECIPE NOTE: you can also make your brownies in a cupcake pan, so the circles are formed while baking.
You need just a couple more ingredients, and your Mummy Brownies come together easily. Googly eyes are our go-to thing to bring life to a cute little dessert.
Look what they do for these Oreo Mummy Pops.
2. ATTACH EYEBALLS
The easiest way to affix the eyeballs is by melting some chocolate chips, putting a small dab on the back, and placing them on the brownies. Once it hardens, the eyes totally stay put.
For reference, place your eyes in the center near the top of your brownie.
3. MAKE BANDAGES
Now, it's time to get mummified!
Melt your white chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave until they are soft, and stir easily.
Tip: One of the best kitchen hacks is to place your melted chocolate in a small Ziploc baggie and snip a small piece of one corner off. It magically becomes a piping bag!
Now pipe frosting over brownies with a zig-zag motion.
How to Make Mummy Bandages on Brownies
Once your baggie is filled with chocolate and the end snipped off, make a criss-cross pattern on the brownie to make "bandages" for the mummy.
Make sure you don't cover the candy eyes. You can put as many as you'd like, but leave a little room in between so they do look like bandages.
Let your killer dessert cool and harden, and they are ready to scare up a good time!
Recipe tips & tricks
This post contains affiliate links. Disclosure policy here.
- You can use candy melts, white chocolate chips, or cream cheese frosting to make the mummy bandages. All are frighteningly dee-licious!
- Reader suggestion: bake your brownies in a cupcake pan so you don't have to cut them out. Or cut them into rectangles.
- For a fun twist, stir food color into white chocolate before piping on brownies for colorful mummies!
- Because cutting a circle is hard, we recommend using a round biscuit cutter. The thick brownies come out easily and perfectly round. We use a 1.5-inch cutter.
- The recipe we use makes an 8×8 pan of Brownies (9 Mummy Brownies). If you want more mummies, you can double the batch or use a mix/recipe that yields more.
Gluten-Free option
- If you want to make your Mummy Brownies gluten-free, either use a gluten-free brownie mix or try this homemade recipe from The Toasted Pine Nut.
How to store
- You can freeze your Brownie Mummies. However, we recommend flash-freezing them (freezing them individually on a cookie sheet) and then putting them in an airtight container with parchment paper in between. They will keep for about 3 months. Thaw overnight on the counter.

Ingredients
- 1 pan of baked brownies (8x8 pan)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (melted)
- 18 candy eyeballs
Supplies
- biscuit cutter

Instructions
- Use a biscuit or cookie cutter to cut 9 round “bodies” from the baked and cooled brownies. Place on wax paper or serving tray.
- Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave. Place a small amount of melted chocolate on a toothpick and dab on the backside of each candy eyeball to create a glue. Affix 2 eyes on the center, the top side of each brownie.
- Place the remaining chocolate in a small plastic baggie and snip a small piece off one corner. Pipe white chocolate onto brownies in a criss-cross pattern avoiding the eyes to form the “bandages.” Let cool.

could you use muffin tins instead to avoid the wasted brownies or would those be too big?
