½ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons White miso paste

Notes
Do not overbake; remove brownies when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs to ensure a fudgy texture.
Avoid overmixing the flour to prevent tough brownies; mix just until combined.
Use good quality ingredients, especially for your cocoa and caramel, as it makes a difference.
Ensure your miso paste is well incorporated into the caramel for an even flavor distribution.
Use a cold knife for clean cuts when slicing the brownies.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
For longer storage, freeze individual brownies tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and then in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
These brownies taste amazing chilled or at room temperature.
