Salted Ghee Caramel Corn

Popcorn parties are the best parties, especially when made with Organic Valley® Ghee! Ghee is the ideal fat for making stovetop popcorn because it has all of the rich, nutty flavor of browned butter, but none of the milk solids. This gives it a higher smoke point than most cooking oils, and keeps it friendly for the lactose-intolerant, too.

¾ cup light or dark brown sugar
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon baking soda

Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 F and line a large baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper (if using parchment paper, use a light colored pan and reduce the oven temperature to 200 F). Put popcorn in a really large bowl.
- Combine ghee, brown sugar and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.
- Pour caramel sauce over the popcorn and stir until the caramel is evenly distributed.
