Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8X8 baking pan with parchment paper or foil (line the sides as well).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract until they are well combined.
Slowly stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder. Mix these ingredients in by hand and be careful not to over mix these ingredients.
Then fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the brownie batter into the baking dish.
Gently press the 50 caramel candies gently into the top of the brownie batter.
Bake for 32-37 minutes until a toothpick insert into the brownies comes out clean. Make sure you insert the toothpick into the brown part and not the caramel part of the brownies.
Allow for the brownies to cool on a wire rack and while the brownies are cooling, prepare the caramel sauce.
Heat 10 caramel candies in a sauce pan with the heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe dish. Heat in 30 second intervals and stir in between each interval. Heat until the caramels are melted.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the brownies and then top with the sea salt.
Cut and enjoy!
