Instructions

1. Preheat your cauldron (oven) to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave, and let it cool for a few minutes.
3. In a bowl, mix the flour, black cocoa powder, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
4. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth as a ghostly whisper.
5. Stir in the salted caramel chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out almost clean. While the brownies are still warm, press in the candy eyeballs to give them that spooky mummy look.
7. Let the brownies cool slightly, cut into bars, and drizzle your favorite frosting or white chocolate to create mummy bandages. Enjoy your hauntingly delicious creation!

The Magic of Creativity

There’s something so magical about baking spooky treats in the kitchen as Halloween approaches. These Mummy Brownies are not only fun to make, but they also remind me of my childhood Halloweens—when the air was crisp, costumes were on, and the trick-or-treating adventure was the highlight of the season. Now, I love making these brownies with my own creative spin. The black cocoa adds a deep, rich flavor, and the caramel chips offer a hint of sweetness. Plus, they’re gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy them at my Halloween gatherings!

Storage Suggestions

• Fridge: Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: You can freeze individual brownies for up to 3 months—just thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave before serving.
