Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need
Steps to Make Candy Mummy Lady Fingers
- Place the bright white candy melts in a large microwave-proof bowl and heat for one minute at 50% power, stirring after heating.
- Continue heating for 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each heating, until the candy has melted and is a dipping consistency.
- Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper and set one pan aside. Place one lady finger into the melted candy, and using a fork, gently roll it around so it is entirely covered.
- Carefully lift the dipped lady finger out of the melted candy and allow the excess melted candy to drip off. Place the dipped lady finger on a parchment-lined half-sheet pan.
- Next, quickly place two mini chocolate chips at the top of the dipped lady finger for the eyes.
- Repeat dipping the lady fingers and placing the chocolate chip eyes until all the fingers have been dipped. Transfer the remaining melted candy to a disposable piping bag.
- Snip the tip off the piping bag and pipe the melted candy in a back-and-forth motion over the tops of the lady fingers to give the mummies their bandaged appearance. Allow the candy melts to dry completely. Then transfer the Candy Mummy Lady Fingers to an airtight container.

Recipe Tips and Tricks
- If the candy is too thick to dip, add one tablespoon of solid vegetable shortening for every 12 ounces of candy melts. Heat for 30 seconds at 50% power and stir to incorporate the melted shortening fully.
- I use the fork from the Wilton Candy Melts Dipping Tool Set to dip the lady fingers.
- I used a pair of Fine Tip Straight Long tweezers to place the chocolate chips so that my fingers would not mess up the melted candy.
- If the candy starts to become too thick while dipping the lady fingers, return the bowl to the microwave and heat for 30 seconds at 50% power to return it to a good dipping consistency.
- It’s ok if the candy is not smooth after the lady fingers are dipped, it will add to the texture when you pipe the extra melted candy on top for the bandages.
