Ingredient Substitutions For Mummy Brownies

Tips For Making This Recipe
Don’t Overmix the Batter
Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined for perfectly fudgy brownies!
Avoid Overbaked Brownies
When testing if your brownies are done, the toothpick should pick up some moist crumbs instead of coming out clean.
Decorate with Melting Wafers
White chocolate chips can be tricky to melt smoothly. If you’d like, use vanilla melting wafers for a foolproof mummy wrapping.
