Preparation

1. Add pitted dates to a sheet of parchment paper.

5. Place the chocolate-covered dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 5 to 7 minutes.

6. Reheat the white chocolate, if needed, and add ¼ cup of melted white chocolate to a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a small slit. Repeat with the milk or dark chips.

7. Drizzle mummy lines on each date.

8. Add spooky mummy eyes.

9. Freeze for an additional 20 to 30 minutes and enjoy!
