In a saucepan, heat the brown sugar over a medium flame and melt it completely. Then add ingredients, saving the ghee and maple syrup for last. Mix until fully incorporated. Before it hardens, pour this blend onto parchment paper. Quickly press with a rolling pin and cut. Optional: sprinkle on Tajin! Cool, devour, and share.
