When you need something festive in a hurry, these mummy treats deliver. Dip your base of choice in white chocolate, drizzle on the bandages, press in a couple of candy eyes, and you have a batch of grinning little mummies that vanish fast at any party. Kids love making them nearly as much as eating them.
Choose your base
Pretzel rods, chocolate-covered cookie sticks, crisped-rice bars, even date-and-nut bites all work. Anything sturdy enough to dip and drizzle is fair game.
The bandage look
Melt the white chocolate until smooth and pourable, coat the base, then drizzle thin lines back and forth in a crisscross for that wrapped-up effect. Press the candy eyes on before the chocolate sets so they hold.
Ahead of time
Let them firm up on parchment, then store in a single layer in an airtight container for up to a week. They travel well for class parties and potlucks.
