Carob Recipe for Chocolate Lovers

I don't know about you, but personally I could eat both cheap and expensive chocolate until doomsday itself arrived.

I mean, seriously, just sitting here typing the word chocolate brings up all kinds of pleasant associations. In fact, if I hadn't kicked my chocolate addiction a long time ago, I'd probably have to stop pounding the keyboard while I took a break to munch down a Mars bar or gobble a handful of Hershey's Kisses.

Well, today I'd like to share a recipe that satisfies the chocolate lover's sweet tooth that is a bit healthier than what you'll find in stores or speciality shops...

Carob Bark for Chocolate Lovers
4-5 cups carob chips (naturally sweetened with malt barley)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup sliced almonds

Melt the carob chips slightly in a double boiler. Stir in peanut butter and continue to melt on stove. Stir in almond slices until all are coated.

Immediately pour onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let cool. Your carob bark will harden quicker in the refrigerator. Cut into approximately 1" square pieces with a sharp knife or good pizza roller. Store pieces in an airtight container.

Thanks to Cheryl Cárdenas for sharing today's carob recipe for chocolate lovers.
