How Make Fun Halloween Brownies
You can make these fun Hallowen brownies by starting with a fresh baked 9 x 13" brownie batch of brownies, You can use a box mix for a 9 x 13" pan our our 9 x 13 Brownies with Cream Cheese Recipe.
A boxed brownie mix is a fast and easy option! Cut the brownies into 12 bars.
Mix Up The Frosting
If you don't want to use store bought frosting, we have a fantastic Easy Cream Cheese Frosting recipe to use instead!
- Combine the frosting with the additional powdered sugar and mix well. This will ensure the frosting stays firm on the brownies.
PRO TIP: Adding some powdered sugar to the store bought frosting will stiffen it up and allow it to harden better. It will also be the 'glue' that allows the eyeballs to stay put and not fall off.
Fill A Pastry Bag With Frosting
- Mix well and scrape up into a glob that you can fill a prepared frosting bag to pipe the mummy wraps with. Cut the tip off the piping bag.
Attach the Eyeballs & Make Mummy Wraps
- Using a dot of frosting, attach the eyeballs to each brownies. Be careful not use too large a dot of frosting so it doesn't ooze out around the eyes.
Pipe The Mummy Bandages On
- Using your piping bag full of frosting, pipe a thicker frosting steam back and forth across the brownie to look like mummy wraps.
Make sure to let some brownie peek out so the mummy wrap effect is really clear. Have fun decorating these, kids of all ages will love helping too!
