- Once the. the mixture is completely melted and at a boil add a splash of evaporated milk (be careful as it will splatter)
- Continue to add the evaporated milk in splashes, mixing constantly in between until it's completely incorporated
- Once all the milk is incorporated add the miso to a fine-meshed sieve and place it in the caramel, stirring the miso to incorporate it slowly and evenly into the caramel (this process prevents the miso from forming large clumps in the caramel)

- Place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours, or in the freezer for 2 hours, or until firm and set
- Cut the caramel into small squares with a sharp knife on a cutting board and wrap them in parchment paper, enjoy!
