Twix Bar Mummy Brownies are quick and easy Halloween treats anyone can make! So cute and fun for kids, they're the perfect Halloween desserts!
Halloween is just around the corner, believe it or not. And these Halloween brownies topped with cute little Twix bar mummies, are a super easy treat you can whip up in no time.
I don't know about you, but I don't like a really long, drawn out process when it comes to fun little Halloween treats for kids. I'm not a HUGE fan of pastry bags, even though I've created quite a few detailed treats with them since I became a mom.
But I'll tell you, this is one super easy Halloween recipe, even uses a brownie mix. And while I use a homemade sugar cookie icing, you can totally buy decorating icing already made and ready to go.
Below you'll find a few tips, things I learned along the way, so hopefully, making these Halloween desserts can be seamless and enjoyable for you. This is a great opportunity to get your kids in the kitchen with you too.

WHAT KIND OF BROWNIE MIX SHOULD I USE?
Ok, here's the first tip because live and learn. You want a brownie that's going to be easy to slice and pull out of the pan, nothing too messy or gooey.
My first batch of brownies turned out a really ooey gooey brownie; I didn't realize they'd be that gooey. They could hardly be scraped off the bottom of the pan.
I recommend using cake-like or chewy brownies (preferably chewy) that won't be so gooey and will easily come out of the pan.
This brownie mix worked wonderfully for our mummy brownies.
TIPS FOR HOW TO MAKE THESE SCRUMPTIOUS HALLOWEEN TREATS
You'll need just a handful of things to make mummy Halloween brownies, including already baked and cooled brownies, Fun Size Twix bars, sugar cookie icing, and candy eyeballs.
Slice your brownies into squares or as close to square shaped brownies as you can.
To decorate brownies as mummies, follow these steps:
- Using Wilton Round Tip 10 (or the closest off brand cake tip) and a small pastry bag, “glue” a Twix bar to the top of the brownie with the sugar cookie icing.
- Next “glue” the candy eyeballs toward the top of your Twix bar.
- Wrap it up (see what I did there?) by zig-zagging white icing across the top of your Twix bar.
When you add the mummy wrap (or icing), try not to cover up the eyes. Although if you happen to go across one of the eyeballs, it's totally fine… It'll probably look even more like a real mummy.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE CAKE TIPS AND PASTRY BAGS?
No worries! You really don't have to have the cake tip I mentioned above or the pastry bag. You can get creative with what you have.
If you have sandwich bags, snip the corner of a sandwich bag, fill the bag with icing, and swirl away. Works like a charm!
You can also create a DIY pastry bag using parchment paper or wax paper.
Or you can just use ready made icing that comes with a convenient tip for decorating, making the process even easier.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE TWIX BARS?
If you don't have Twix bars, just create the top of your brownie to look like a mummy.
Simply add the candy eyeballs and icing to the top of your brownie instead of on the candy bars.
And if you can't find candy eyeballs, you can always use M&M's, M&M's Minis, or chocolate chips.
Get creative and just have fun!
