A Miso Caramel Bar balances sweet and savory in every bite: a buttery shortbread crust supports a glossy, molten layer of caramel subtly brightened with white miso for umami depth, while a sprinkle of flaky sea salt enhances contrast and heightens flavor. The texture shifts from crisp edges to a chewy center, with warm notes of brown sugar and toasted butter rounded by the miso's gentle tang. Serve slightly warm to let the caramel soften, or at room temperature for cleaner slices—either way, it’s an unexpected, sophisticated treat that pairs well with coffee or a light dessert wine.
