Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

8 oz dark chocolate, chopped

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup white miso paste

1/2 cup caramel sauce

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add in the melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.

4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

5. In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with the caramel sauce until smooth.

6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Dollop half of the miso caramel over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.

7. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and repeat with the remaining miso caramel.

8. Sprinkle walnuts over the top, if using, and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
