Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For white chocolate decoration:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips, separated
- ¼ cup non-marking chocolate chips
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the pan by carefully lining an 8×8 inch dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges extend over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar into the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until the consistency becomes thick and moldable.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down evenly and firmly to create a compact base layer.
- Place the pan in the freezer for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing the mixture to firm up and become more stable.
- Remove from freezer and slice the chilled mixture into rectangular bar shapes using a sharp knife.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring between each to prevent burning.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the bars, creating thin bandage-like patterns to mimic a mummy’s wrapping.
- Add small chocolate chips or candy eyes to create facial features for a playful mummy effect.
- Return the decorated bars to the refrigerator for a final 10 minutes to set the chocolate completely.
- Once firm, carefully lift the bars out using the parchment paper edges and serve chilled.
Notes
- Prepare a parchment-lined pan with overhanging sides for easy removal.
- Blend peanut butter, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Freeze the mixture until firm, then cut into rectangular shapes for mummy-like bars.
- Melt white chocolate in short intervals, drizzling carefully over bars to create bandage-like designs.
