Ingredients

Scale

1 box brownie mix (18 oz)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup white icing or frosting (store-bought or homemade)
24 pairs candy eyes (for a 9×13-inch pan)
Optional: black gel icing for facial detail

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Whisk until smooth; do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes (for 9×13 pan) or 35-40 minutes (for 8×8 pan). Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
Lift brownies from pan using parchment overhang. Cut into 12-24 bars, wiping knife between cuts for clean edges.
Scoop white icing into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped).
Pipe zigzag lines across each brownie to mimic mummy bandages, leaving space at the top for eyes.
Place two candy eyes near the top of each brownie, pressing gently.
Optional: Add a dot of black gel icing for mouths or extra facial features.
Let brownies sit uncovered for 20 minutes to allow icing to firm up, or refrigerate for 10 minutes if in a rush.

Notes

For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use appropriate brownie mix and icing. Brownies are best decorated after cooling completely. Kids love helping with the decorating—imperfections add character! Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or freeze undecorated brownies for up to 2 months.
