If you're looking for an easy and adorable Halloween treat, these Mummy Brownies are it! With fudgy brownies, icing bandages, and candy eyes, they're spooky, sweet, and so much fun to make.
My guys are pretty die-hard boxed brownie mix fans, but every once in a while, I see a recipe that I know they will love. I found these fun Mummy Brownies in a Taste of Home Halloween round up, and I knew they'd be a big hit here.
They're both allergic to tree nuts, so I left those out. I used a 13x9 pan and they baked in just over 35 minutes. I don't have a particular knack for piping, but that's the great thing about mummies, they're not meant to be neat and tidy. I used some great candy eyeballs I found in the cake decorating section, but you can use mini M&Ms too.
The trick was almost on me, these treats were disappearing so fast I had to hide them so I could get a few pictures!
