Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, for eyes
Instructions
- Prepare Base: Line an 8 x 8 inches baking dish with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
- Create Mixture: Whisk peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth and integrated.
- Form Dough: Fold powdered sugar into the mixture, stirring until a uniform, cohesive consistency develops, then press evenly into the prepared dish.
- Chill Foundation: Freeze the peanut butter base for 15-20 minutes until completely solidified, then slice into precise rectangular shapes.
- Coat Bars: Melt white chocolate chips in short microwave intervals, stirring between bursts to prevent burning, then completely enrobe each peanut butter rectangle.
- Decorate Mummies: Create a piping bag from a plastic sandwich bag, snip a tiny corner, and drizzle white chocolate in zigzag patterns to mimic mummy bandages.
- Finalize Design: Place mini chocolate chips as eyes, gently pressing to secure, then refrigerate for a final 5-10 minutes to set all elements perfectly.
Notes
- Prevent Chocolate Burn: Microwave white chocolate in short 15-second intervals, stirring between each burst to avoid scorching and maintain smooth consistency.
- Chill for Stability: Refrigerate bars between steps to help solidify layers, ensuring clean lines and preventing messy handling during decoration.
- Piping Precision: Use a small plastic bag with a tiny snipped corner as a budget-friendly piping tool for creating delicate white chocolate mummy bandage details.
- Storage Strategy: Keep treats refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain texture and prevent chocolate from melting.
