My guys are pretty die-hard boxed brownie mix fans, but every once in a while, I see a recipe that I know they will love. I found these fun Mummy Brownies in a Taste of Home Halloween round up, and I knew they'd be a big hit here.
They're both allergic to tree nuts, so I left those out. I used a 13x9 pan and they baked in just over 35 minutes. I don't have a particular knack for piping, but that's the great thing about mummies, they're not meant to be neat and tidy. I used some great candy eyeballs I found in the cake decorating section, but you can use mini M&Ms too.
The trick was almost on me, these treats were disappearing so fast I had to hide them so I could get a few pictures!
