Time to Cook
Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 50 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can make these a day in advance.
Steps to Make It
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. This ensures your brownies bake evenly and come out perfectly fudgy. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This step is crucial for achieving that rich brownie texture.
- Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. You should see a lovely, shiny batter forming.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want your brownies to be soft and fudgy.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, let the brownies cool completely in the pan. While they cool, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth, then transfer to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled brownies to create mummy wrappings. Use the dark chocolate chips to add eyes. Let the decorations set before cutting into squares.
- Finally, slice the brownies into squares and serve them at your Halloween party. Watch as everyone enjoys these spooky treats!
Make It Perfect
- For a richer flavor, try using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa.
- If you don’t have white chocolate chips, you can use melted vanilla candy melts as a substitute.
- Make sure to let the brownies cool completely before decorating to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Mix It Up
- Add chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Try using peanut butter chips instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
Perfect Partners
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
- Pair with a spooky punch for a festive drink.
