Ingredients

18.3 ounce boxed brownie mix
2/3 cup melted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips) save some extra for topping.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F and line an 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine the melted butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Add the boxed brownie mix and fold into the mixture using a spatula just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips until combined (do not overmix).
Scoop the brownie batter into prepared pan and spread with using a knife or press the batter evenly using a another piece of parchment paper to protect your hands from getting batter on them.
Bake the brownies for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, not gooey). Be careful not to overbake. You want the center to be soft. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Sprinkle the tops of the brownies with extra chocolate chips and/or flaky salt.
Lift the brownies out of the pan by pulling on the edges of the parchment paper and place onto a cutting board. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.
