Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line an 8”x8” pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until barely combined; avoid overmixing.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out wet but without raw batter. The top should not look wet.
Let cool completely for about 1 hour, then chill for at least 2 hours for easier cutting. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for 4 days. To freeze, wrap and place in a Ziploc bag, lasting up to 3 months.
For 8 mummies, cut into 2"x3" rectangles; for 12, cut into 2"x2.6" squares.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate in 20-second intervals at half power, stirring until smooth.
Transfer most white chocolate to a piping bag for decorating; pipe mummy designs.
Dip candy eyeballs in reserved white chocolate and place them on the brownies.
Chill for about 30 minutes to set the decorations, then refrigerate covered for up to 4 days.

Notes

These brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before decorating.
For clean cuts, chill brownies for a couple of hours after baking to firm up.
Using dairy-free chocolate options makes this dessert suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
