2. Add in your dry ingredients and mix until completely combined.
3. Add your short bread crust to a lined 8x8 baking dish and flatten it out.
4. Place your crust to bake in the oven while you make your brownie filling.
5. For the brownie filling, you're just going to need melted butter and sugar. You're going to mix that together, add in your eggs and your vanilla extract.
6. Mix that again and then add in your dry ingredients and fold until it just comes together.
7. Place your brownie batter on top of your shortbread crust and place this back in the oven to finish baking.
8. While that's baking, you can go ahead and make your ganache filling, which is just heated heavy cream over chocolate chips.
9. Once your brownies have finished cooking, allow them to cool before topping them with that delicious chocolate ganache.
10. Cut them into the perfect bite-size pieces and they are ready to be enjoyed.
