Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Pretzel Dough: You can use store-bought dough or make your own; either way, it’s essential for creating that classic pretzel texture.
- Brown Sugar: This adds a hint of sweetness that perfectly complements the pretzel’s savory notes.
- White Chocolate Chips: These create the “bandages” on our mummy pretzels; feel free to use dark chocolate if you prefer.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: Use these for creating spooky eyes; they add personality to each mummy!
- Egg Wash: A simple mixture of egg and water that gives your pretzels a glossy finish when baked.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Workspace: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking while baking.
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out small pieces of pretzel dough into long strips, about 12 inches long. This will form the body of your mummies.
Wrap It Up: Take each strip and wrap it around itself haphazardly like a mummy—make sure to leave small gaps where you can place eyes later.
Create an Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together one egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over each wrapped pretzel to achieve that beautiful golden color while baking.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your pretzel mummies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and smell heavenly!
Add Some Fun Details: Once cooled slightly, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle over each pretzel. Place mini chocolate chips on top as eyes and let everything set before serving.
Now you have scrumptious Mummy Pretzels ready to spook up your snack table! Serve them warm and watch as everyone enjoys these delightful treats filled with nostalgia and fun!
