Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
- Create the shortbread base by melting sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden; let cool slightly.
- For the brownie layer, beat room temperature butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in oil and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined.
- Pour brownie batter over the cooled shortbread layer and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean but moist.
- Prepare ganache by heating heavy cream until boiling. Remove from heat; add dark chocolate chips and butter, stirring until smooth.
- Pour ganache over baked brownies once they are out of the oven; allow to cool completely before cutting.
