This sweet treat is reminiscent of an Almond Joy bar for the most part. Okay, I think it is more of a cross between an Almond Joy bar and a Hershey’s with almonds. This is a super simple recipe. I bought about 5 pounds of carob chips a few years ago and they have been literally hanging in my freezer. So, I decided to give my own recipe a go. I hope you enjoy it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, depending upon the carob chips you use, this recipe could be completely sugar-free, though my carob chips are made with cane sugar. you may find varieties unsweetened or made with coconut sugar or beet sugar. Some people make their own chips. It is really up to you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I covered almonds in a previous post (quick almond ricotta<\/a>). This food boasts a highly nutritious composition, rich in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, along with a variety of other valuable nutrients. Its impressive health benefits include supporting blood health and assisting in the relief of anemia, constipation, and respiratory issues. Additionally, if you’re facing dental, hair, or skin concerns like psoriasis, it can be quite helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a previous post (coco-yo<\/a>) I also covered coconut. Coconut is a highly nutritious food packed with essential nutrients. It offers a good source of fiber, protein, potassium, folate, iron, and beneficial fats. When I say beneficial fats, I\u2019m referring to those that can boost your metabolism, helping your body to burn more calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also covered carob in a previous post (hot hazelnut carob<\/a>). Carob is not only a food packed with nutrients and numerous health benefits, but it is also favored by Seventh-Day Adventists for being naturally free of caffeine. A quick look at its nutritional profile shows that it is low in fat, high in fiber, and rich in essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It also contains vitamins and offers a great energy boost. It’s interesting to note that carob, often referred to as “locust bean,” was part of John the Baptist’s diet, along with wild honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, without further ado, here is the very simple recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
