this is probably the only recipe you will ever see on this blog. I can cook, but it is not where my creativity lies. I cook so I can eat. But this was requested by the charming Maggie Crawford, so how could I refuse?
1/2 cup to 1 cup dates (depending on how sweet you want them)
1 cup water, divided
1/2 cup carob powder
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp vanilla
Cook dates in 1/2 cup water until very soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Combine 1/2 cup water with carob powder in small saucepan. Boil carob mixture, stirring, 5 minutes until making a smooth paste. Combine dates and remaining ingredients. Press into 8 inch square pan. Refridgerate. Cut into squares.

This sounds delicious! I was looking for carob chips the other day at Whole Foods, and I couldn't find it. They must have it! I'll have to look closer. These look so yummy!
You will need carob powder for the fudge. The advantage of the powder is you don't have to worry about what kind of fat they have used in making the chips.
Hi DeeDee,
This looks like a very interesting recipe. I'm not a huge fan of carob, but I have a lot of site visitors who love it and want an alternative to chocolate.
Would you mind sharing this recipe with them? You can either add it yourself using the form at http://www.chocolate-candy-mall.com/carob-candy.html or, if you'd rather, perhaps you could give me permission to add it for you.
I hope you'll say yes. :)

This looks *really* promising and I have some amazing organic carob (and coca too) at the ready! Just have to get to the market for unsweetened coconut and some organic dates.
What a nice gluten -n- dairy free option!
I've got to try this. I love the taste of carob. mmm..gotta find some powder.
