Serves: 6 treats
Ingredients
- 6 ice cream bars
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup candy eyes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Remove ice cream bars from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer to chill while preparing the chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Take the chilled baking sheet from the freezer and remove ice cream bars from their packaging.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted white chocolate in zigzag patterns across each ice cream bar, creating a mummy-like bandage effect. Leave some spaces to simulate wrapped bandages.
- Quickly place candy eyes on each bar before the chocolate sets, positioning them to look like a mummy's eyes peeking through the bandages.
- Immediately return the decorated bars to the freezer for 5 minutes to allow chocolate to harden completely.
- Remove from freezer just before serving and enjoy the spooky Halloween treat.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Let your ice cream bars soften just slightly to make decorating easier, but not so much that they melt.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: Use the microwave's 15-second interval method to prevent chocolate from burning and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Work Quickly: Have all your decorating supplies ready before melting the chocolate, as it sets fast.
- Freezer Prep: Chilling your baking sheet beforehand helps prevent immediate melting when you place the decorated bars.
- Candy Eye Placement: Add eyes quickly before the chocolate sets to ensure they stick properly.
- Make Ahead: These treats can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, making party prep a breeze.
- Variation Tip: Experiment with different chocolate colors or add food coloring for more unique mummy designs.
