Steps to Make It

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. The smell of the butter will fill your kitchen with warmth.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks pale and airy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and glossy, which means you are on the right track.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick and rich.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread 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. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
6. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the white icing. In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract if using. Mix until smooth and pourable. You want it to be thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to drizzle.
7. Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into rectangles. Drizzle the white icing over the brownies to create a mummy effect. Use chocolate chips for eyes if desired. Let the icing set before serving.
8. Serve these Mummy Brownies at your Halloween party and watch them disappear! They’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Make It Perfect

• For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate cocoa powder.
• If you don’t have almond extract, vanilla extract works well too.
• To make cutting easier, chill the brownies in the fridge for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Mix It Up

• Add chopped nuts to the brownie batter for extra crunch.
• Use colored icing to create different spooky designs.

Perfect Partners

• These brownies pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk.
• Serve them alongside a warm cup of hot cocoa for a cozy treat.
