Halloween Mummy Brownies Recipe

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
4. Stir in flour, cocoa, and salt until just combined.
5. Line a large brownie pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
6. Bake the brownies for at least 25 minutes.
7. While the brownies bake, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted. Let cool to room temperature.
8. In a medium bowl, beat the cold butter until pale and fluffy. If it looks too yellow, add a tiny drop of purple food coloring.
9. Add the cooled melted white chocolate, cold cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste to the butter. Mix until well combined.
10. Check the brownies at 25 minutes; continue baking up to 35 minutes or until the outer 3 inches are set.
11. Let the brownies cool completely. Meanwhile, spoon the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a tip #47 or #48 (or any tip from #44 to #48) for mummy bandages.
12. Once cool, cut the brownies into 12 to 24 rectangles and transfer them to a platter or tray.
13. Pipe the frosting over the brownies in a zigzag motion to create mummy wrapping.
14. Add candy eyes to the brownies for the mummy face.
15. Serve the brownies on a Halloween platter or package them individually in resealable cellophane bags.
