Ingredients

For the coffee miso caramel brownies:

  • 200 grams 70% dark chocolate
  • 200 grams Unsalted butter
  • 3 medium Eggs room temperatue
  • 250 grams Caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons White miso paste
  • 4 tablespoons Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence
  • 160 grams Plain flour
  • 25 grams Cocoa powder
  • 200 grams Salted caramel sauce Choose a good-quality jar of caramel sauce. It should be thick and gooey, not thin and runny.

For the Halloween chocolate decorations:

  • 50 grams White chocolate
  • Edible eyes I also used some spider and pumpkin sprinkles that I had lying around
  • Black writing icing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) / 200°C (conventional). Line an 8-inch square baking tin with greaseproof paper.

Start by making the brownie mixture:

  • Break the dark chocolate up into a bowl and add the butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely smooth and melted. Set aside to cool.

  • Measure the eggs, sugar, Camp Coffee and miso paste in a bowl. Whisk vigorously for 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick and foamy.
    3 medium Eggs, 250 grams Caster sugar, 4 tablespoons Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence, 2 tablespoons White miso paste
  • Stir the flour and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl to combine.
    160 grams Plain flour, 25 grams Cocoa powder
  • Add the dry ingredients and the melted chocolate mixture to the whisked eggs. Fold until the brownie mixture is smooth and combined.

Layer the caramel brownies:

  • Spoon half of the brownie mixture into the baking tin and spread to the edges. Top with half the caramel sauce, spreading it out into an even layer but leaving a 2cm border around the edge.

  • Spread the remaining brownie mixture on top.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the remaining caramel sauce on top and swirl into the brownie mixture.

Bake the brownies:

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. The brownies should be set on top (no wet mixture), with small cracks showing around the outside edges. If you gently shake the tin, the very centre should jiggle slightly.
  • Leave to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then pop in the fridge for 3 hours to fully cool and set (or in the freezer for 1.5 hours).

Decorate your halloween brownies:

  • Use a large, sharp knife to slice your brownies into 9 portions. It’s best to press the knife straight down through the brownies in one clean motion, rather than sawing or dragging it. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
  • Break up the white chocolate into a bowl and melt it in the microwave in short 20-second bursts. Transfer half to a piping bag and snip off the end to make a small hole.

  • Spiderweb decoration: Pipe 3 draped curves in the corner of the brownie and then overlapping lines on top.
  • Mummy decoration: Pipe zigzag lines across the brownie and add two edible eyes.

  • Ghost decoration: Drop a teaspoon of white chocolate on top of the brownie and use the back of the spoon to spread it into a ghost shape. Use black writing icing to draw on the ghost faces.
