Instructions

Prepare the caramel layer by combining sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth; set aside to cool.
For the shortbread crust, beat room temperature butter and powdered sugar until pale; mix in flour and salt to form dough. Press into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
While the crust bakes, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips, and salt in one bowl; mix eggs, oil, melted butter, water, and vanilla in another bowl before combining them.
Pour brownie batter over the baked crust followed by drizzling cooled caramel on top without mixing too much.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until set but fudgy. Allow cooling before preparing ganache by heating cream and stirring in dark chocolate chips until smooth.
Spread ganache over the brownies and let set before slicing.
