Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, eggs, milk, and corn syrup and using a hand mixer beat until smooth.
Next, fold in the flour and salt until fully combined (make sure there are no dry patches remaining).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely..
Once the brownies are cool, prepare the ganache by warming the heavy cream in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally until it just comes to a simmer, you do not want this to boil.
Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate until melted and smooth.
Pour the ganache over the brownies, then top with the sprinkles.
Let cool for about 3 hours in the refrigerator for the ganache to set before slicing and serving.

If you want to stray from the original recipe you can add things to the batter and top, see some of my ideas above.
These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
Make sure that you use a higher quality chocolate so it melts better.
These can easily be doubled.
These are best served at room temperature so I suggest after chilling, return to the counter to come to room temp before serving.
