Test Kitchen Tuesday - Fancy Pants Popcorn Edition

This popcorn recipe is a Michael Chiarello and it is very tasty. I made more popcorn than he did, but kept the ingredient ratio the same and it was still good. More chocolate and orange zest would not go wrong though. It was our after-carving-pumpkins treat and was hailed by all.

Chocolate-Orange Brown Butter Popcorn

3 cups popped popcorn
2 T. unsalted butter
2 T. grey salt (Mr. Chiarello is obsessed with grey salt...I used kosher)
1 orange
1 oz. bittersweet chocolate

Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat on the stove top. Tilt the pan away from you, then add the butter. As you tilt the pan back, the butter will begin to brown. Add salt into the butter, then pour it over the popcorn. Mix well. With a zester, zest the skin of 1 orange and the chocolate over the popcorn and mix.
