  Really I had no idea it was so bad, but it's a relief to know there is an alternative to chocolate.
So I'm just wondering have any of you ever cooked with and or tried and tasted carob? Was it any good, was it expensive and where would I find it? [Im assuming bulk health food stores.]
Thanks for any feedback in advance, I can't wait to try and make macaroons using carob as a replacement for the choco.
Oh I almost forgot..It's Dr's orders I'm not allowed chocolate or any product containg caffene as its effecting my mental health so thats where this is coming from.
