These brownie pops are both spooky and sweet, guaranteed to delight your guests and bring a touch of Halloween magic to your table. Let’s dive into how to create these ghoulishly good treats!
Ingredients
Before we get our hands chocolatey, let’s gather our ingredients. For these Mummy Brownies, you’ll need:
For the Brownies:
- 1 Box Fudge Brownie Mix (plus the ingredients required on the box)
For the Coating and Decoration:
- 1 ½ cups Dark Chocolate Melting Chips
- ¼ cup White Chocolate Melting Chips
- Edible Eyes
Whip up the Brownies
Create the Mummy Brownie Pops
With our brownie base ready, we can now form the pops:
Form the Brownie Pops: Scoop out portions of the crumbled brownies and press them firmly into silicone square molds. Each mold should be packed tightly to ensure the brownie pops hold their shape. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center of each brownie square, pressing it about halfway through. Place the filled molds in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up. This step helps the brownie pops keep their shape when you dip them in chocolate.
Coat the Brownie Pops: Melt the dark chocolate melting chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth. Carefully remove the brownie pops from the freezer and take them out of the molds. Dip each brownie pop into the melted dark chocolate, making sure to cover it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This creates a deliciously rich chocolate coating for our mummies.
Design the Mummy Brownies
Now comes the fun part—turning your brownie pops into spooky mummies:
Create the Mummy Effect: Melt the white chocolate melting chips in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Once melted, transfer the white chocolate to a small piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the white chocolate over each brownie pop in a crisscross pattern to mimic mummy wrappings. You can make the lines as thick or thin as you like for a more dramatic or subtle effect.
Add the Edible Eyes: While the white chocolate is still soft, gently press two edible eyes onto the top of each brownie pop. The eyes should sit within the “mummy wrappings,” giving your treats a truly spooky appearance.
