Actually, it tastes nothing like chocolate but works in recipes that use chocolate. It's CAROB!! I have yet to find another person who prefers carob to chocolate. I LOVE carob!! Anyone else out there? And does anyone have good carob recipes??
My mother gave me carob when I was a kid. She didn't want me to have chocolate at first. I thought it tasted awful. When I was 5, a kid gave me some chocolate and I have never looked back since.
I love carob. They used to have it as a topping at an ice cream place I went to as a kid. I actually preferred it to chocolate. BUT, I haven't had it in forever. I LOVE dark chocolate now, though.
