While the treats are cooling, spoon the remaining white chocolate in a small plastic bag and trim off the pointy edge of the bag. Drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag motion over the treats to create the look of a mummy. Use the black piping gel make eyes for each mummy.
Serve immediately or the treats can be stored in a sealed plastic container for 3 to 4 days.
