Carob balls

Carob Balls

What is carob?  It is a bean that is ground, and has the taste of chocolate, but is not bitter therefore recipes with it need less sugar.  After you've tried it,  you'll like it.  It's an acquired taste.  These are like chocolate fudge and are addicting!

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter (preferably natural, and chunky is good)
1/2 cup carob powder

Heat honey and peanut butter until barely warm over low heat, and remove from heat.  Add the carob and stir well.  Roll into balls the size of large marble.  You can roll them in sunflower seeds, coconut, or chopped walnuts, or whatever you might want to try.  Put balls on a plate and refrigerate until firm.  Transfer to covered container and keep refrigerated to keep them firm.
