What makes Mummy Brownies so special?
The rich flavor of the fudgy brownies and the cute frosting decorations for the holiday sets these brownies apart from a regular brownie. These are great for kids but would be fun for a holiday office party or gifts for the neighbors too.

Ingredients for Mummy Brownies
- brownies – store-bought – bakery – or homemade
- white icing – store-bought – or homemade
- candy eyeballs
Can these be made with a homemade brownie recipe?
Yes – if you don’t want to have to run to the store – you can try making these with my super simple and delicious One-Bowl brownie recipe. Or try this treat with my EASY Nutella brownies. They only need 4-ingredients and everyone loves them.
Can these be made with a box mix?
Oh yes – of course. If a box mix is your thing – you can absolutely make these little treats with that. Using a box mix gives you an opportunity to make these as shown – with thick brownies OR you can make the mix in the 9×13 pan and create more little mummies.

How to Make Mummy Brownies
- Spoon the frosting carefully into a piping bag or plastic storage bag.
- If using a zip-top bag – cut a small hole or poke a hole in the corner of the bag depending on how thick you want your mummy stripes to be.
- Use a zigzag pattern over the brownies with the frosting to create the look of a mummy.
- Add two candy eyes to complete the mummy brownies.
- Allow your brownies to sit for 20 minutes so the icing hardens a bit.
- Store in an airtight container but do not stack.
Can I use homemade frosting?
Yes! Homemade frosting is fine for these brownies. I recommend my Best Bakery Buttercream Frosting or you can try this Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. You might want to cut the recipes in half or even make just 1/4 of the recipe.
You don’t need much frosting to make these brownies. But if you make the whole batch of frosting – you can always use it to make these super cute Ghost cupcakes.

Can I use melted white chocolate instead of frosting?
Yes – using melted white chocolate or candy melts will work out just fine.
- Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe dish for 20 seconds and mix. Repeat until all the bark is melted.
- Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag. Cut the tip or the corner of the bag depending on how thick you want your mummy stripes to be.
- Pipe the white chocolate over the brownies in a back-and-forth zigzag pattern to create the look of a mummy.
- Complete the mummies by adding two candy eyes.
Can I freeze Mummy Brownies?
Yes, you can freeze these brownies. Place them in a freezer-safe container and they will keep for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before eating. Make sure to freeze in a single layer so the frosting doesn’t get messed up by stacking them.
But – the eyes don’t do well in a damp environment. SOOOOO – I recommend storing them without the eyes and adding them right before serving.
How Do I Know the Brownies are Done?
When you insert a toothpick and a few crumbs remain on it, the brownies are done. If the toothpick comes out clean, they were overcooked.
Can I mix in chocolate chips or other goodies?
Yes – of course! I’m all about the mix-ins – so I will always encourage you to do that whenever possible. That is one of the bonuses of making your own brownies – either with a box mix or homemade. You get to decide what’s inside and can always make them a little bit better.
