line an 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt and butter.
Once combined, fold in cocoa powder, flour and chocolate chunks and stir until everything is combined.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the brownie comes out clean.

Salted Caramel
In a medium saucepan sprinkle a thin layer of the sugar over the pan - as it melts add another thin layer - again and again until all the sugar is melted, turning the pan to keep it moving
Once it's all melted it will start turning a golden color, it will take about 5 minutes.
Once it becomes a dark amber color, remove from heat and stir in butter. Be careful the mixture will bubble, a LOT.
Pour in the heavy cream and sea salt, stir until everything is combined.
Place back on the stove for about 30 seconds, stirring all the time.
Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes then pour the caramel over the brownies
Let everything cool and set, then cut the brownies and enjoy! the caramel will still be super messy, but oh so good
