How to Make Almost Any Dessert Look Like a Mummy
One of the reasons mummy desserts are so much fun is that you can turn almost any favorite dessert into one. Start with a treat that has a fairly flat surface, add two candy eyes, and create mummy bandages with melted white chocolate, white candy melts, royal icing, or buttercream.
Don’t worry about making the lines perfect. Mummy wrappings are supposed to overlap and go in different directions, so these Halloween treats actually look better when they’re a little messy!
Easy Mummy Dessert Decorating Ideas
Keep a package of candy eyes and white candy melts on hand during Halloween baking season. Those two ingredients can transform brownies, cookies, pretzels, marshmallows, strawberries, and even store-bought treats into quick mummy desserts.
For a different look, try white buttercream, vanilla frosting, marshmallow fluff, or royal icing for the bandages. You can also use different sizes of candy eyes to give each mummy its own funny personality.
Make a Mummy Dessert Tray for Halloween
A whole tray of mummy desserts would make an adorable centerpiece for a Halloween party. Start with one larger dessert, such as mummy brownies or cupcakes, and surround it with smaller treats like mummy Oreos, pretzels, strawberries, truffles, and marshmallow pops.
Stick with a simple color palette of chocolate brown, creamy white, and black, then add a few orange Halloween candies or sprinkles for color. The finished platter will look festive without making every dessert completely different.
Jennie’s Thoughts
I love Halloween recipes that look impressive but are actually incredibly easy to decorate, and mummy desserts might be some of the easiest of all. You really only need white chocolate or frosting and candy eyes to turn an everyday dessert into something adorable for Halloween.
I especially love the idea of making several different mummy treats and arranging them together on one big dessert tray. The combination of brownies, Oreos, Rice Krispie treats, pretzels, and cookies would make such a cute Halloween party spread.
If you’re making Halloween treats with kids, this is also one theme where you don’t have to worry about everything looking perfect. Let everyone drizzle their own mummy bandages, add some funny candy eyes, and make each little mummy completely different.
Whether you’re planning a Halloween party or just want something fun to make at home, I hope these cute mummy dessert ideas give you plenty of inspiration for spooky season!
