  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. Mix together butter, cake mix, and eggs. Press batter into prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
  3. While base layer is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl mix together the vanilla pudding mixes and half & half for 2-3 minutes until thick. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to fridge to chill while base layer is baking and cooling.
  4. When base is completely cooled, spread filling over base layer. Transfer back to the fridge while you prepare the ganache.
  5. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and corn syrup. Microwave on half power for 2 minutes. Stir, then return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time (at half power still) stirring after each, until mixture is completely melted and smooth. Allow to cool.
  6. Remove the bars from the fridge, cut into squares. Drizzle ganache over squares and serve, or chill until ready to serve.
