Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together the eggs, vanilla and sugar until smooth. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring to combine. Add it to the eggs/vanilla/sugar mixture and stir to combine.

Next, sift together the flour and cocoa powder, and fold into the wet mixture. Fold in the blueberries and the walnuts.

Spread the batter into a parchment-lined 8 inch square pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just done.

Let cool in the pan. Cut into 2 inch squares (should yield 16 brownies). Enjoy!
