Preheat the oven to 350°F and have ready 9x13" baking dish, lined with nonstick aluminum foil, leaving a bit of an overhang up the sides for easy removal.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or pitcher and set aside until ready to use.

Add the dry ingredients, and stir to combine with a sturdy wooden spoon.
Add the batter to the prepared pan and smooth over the top. Bake for 20-22 minutes, remove from the oven, and allow to cool completely in the pan.
To Make the Ganache:
Add the heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl or pitcher and microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until hot.
Add the chopped chocolate to a small mixing bowl and pour over the hot heavy cream. Allow to sit for about 1 minute.
Stir the mixture until completely smooth. Add in the corn syrup and stir once more.
Pour the ganache over the brownies and spread to the edges. Sprinkle the rainbow chip sprinkles across the top and transfer to the refrigerator to set, about 2-3 hours.
Once set, use the foil overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a work surface. Cut into 16 squares, taking care to remove any foil stuck to the bottom of your brownies, serve and enjoy.
