Carob Balls Rolled in Coconut?! No way!

Yummers. Mouth explosion. Recommended batches: More than One.

Carob. I grew up on it. Heck, I even grew in on it. Do I enjoy it more than chocolate? Most of the time, most certainly not. Do I consider it to be a reasonable cacao substitute? All I can really say in answer to that query is: Each of these foods stands on its own. When you want chocolate, by all means, EAT CHOCOLATE (Dark and fair trade if possible)! When you want carob, or if you are feeling rather adventurous, make the following rich and chewy (and sparkling) carob balls. Thanks for the recipe, Mom! Oh, and these are best served cold.
