- 2 pieces eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
Making the Miso Caramel
- In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it starts to melt and turn amber in color.
- Add heavy cream and unsalted butter to the melted sugar and whisk until combined.
- Stir in the white miso paste and whisk until thick and shiny.
Preparing the Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the melted chocolate, butter, eggs, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the mixture and mix until just combined.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into a greased baking pan.
- Drizzle the miso caramel over the brownie batter and swirl it gently.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter and swirl again for good luck.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Notes
For added crunch, sprinkle some flaky salt on top before baking. Letting them sit overnight enhances the flavors.
