In food processor, pulse flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pulse in butter just until mixture holds together. Press evenly into parchment paper–lined 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan. Prick all over with fork; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on rack.
Toffee Filling: In saucepan, melt sugar, butter, condensed milk and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer reaches thread stage of 230 to 234 F (110 to 112 C), 25 to 30 minutes. Pour over base. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
Ganache Topping: Place chocolate in bowl. In microwave oven or on stove, bring cream to boil; pour over chocolate, whisking until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Pour over toffee layer, spreading evenly. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
