Chocolate chip cake bars with salted chocolate glaze

I LOVE sweet and salty combinations, and these chocolate chip cake bars from How Sweet It Is didn't disappoint!  I made these for the Bachelor finale and they were quickly devoured.  I sprinkled extra kosher salt on top because... it's just what I do.

Chocolate Chip Cake Bars with Salted Chocolate Glaze

6 tablespoons butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

3 eggs

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips

For the salted chocolate glaze:

8 ounce high-quality chocolate, chopped

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add vanilla; add eggs one at a time. In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and ending with the dry ingredients. Toss chocolate chips with a tiny bit of flour and them fold them into the batter. (This is supposed to keep the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom, but mine did anyway. Not a big deal, in my opinion).

Spray a 9x13 cake pan or baking dish with non-stick spray. Layer with parchment paper and spray again. Pour batter in pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean.

To prepare glaze, melt the chocolate in a double-boiler, or in a glass bowl in the microwave (30 second increments). Stir in sea salt and pour over chocolate chip cake.  Sprinkle tops with kosher or seal salt, optional.
