Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix
- Ingredients required for brownie mix (eggs, water, oil)
- 8 Twix bars, chopped
- White chocolate for drizzling
- Candy eyes for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the box instructions. This typically involves mixing the dry brownie mix with eggs, water, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the batter is smooth and no dry ingredients remain.
- Roughly chop 6 Twix bars into bite-sized pieces. Fold these chopped Twix pieces into the brownie batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour the Twix-studded brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper handles to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Once melted, transfer to a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Cut the cooled brownies into 16 equal squares. Drizzle melted white chocolate across each brownie in a zigzag pattern to create a "mummy bandage" effect.
- While the white chocolate is still slightly wet, place candy eyes on each brownie to create the mummy face. Use 2 eyes per brownie for a classic look.
- Chop the remaining 2 Twix bars and sprinkle the pieces around the brownies for additional decoration and crunch.
- Allow the white chocolate to set completely at room temperature, which takes about 10-15 minutes. Serve and enjoy your spooky Twix Bar Mummy Halloween Brownies!
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Magic: When melting white chocolate, use low power in the microwave and stir frequently to prevent burning. Smooth, perfectly melted chocolate is key to creating those signature mummy "bandages".
- Piping Perfection: For the most professional-looking mummy drizzle, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut. Practice a zigzag motion to create realistic bandage-like patterns.
- Candy Eye Placement: Place candy eyes while the white chocolate is still slightly wet to ensure they stick perfectly. For extra fun, try placing eyes at slightly different angles to give each mummy brownie a unique personality.
- Twix Chopping Technique: Chop Twix bars when they're slightly chilled for cleaner, more precise cuts. This prevents the caramel from making a messy situation.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow brownies to cool completely before decorating to ensure your mummy design stays crisp and doesn't melt or run.
