Yummy Carob Treat -
Virgin coconut oil
Carob powder
Sweetener
Hemp hearts
shredded coconut and anything else you'd like to add!
A cup of coconut oil is a good start. Melt the oil in a double boiler on low heat. You don't want to warm the coconut too much, it's more of a raw bar. Once melted, take the oil off the heat and add the carob powder. Keep adding carob until you get a consistency of pudding. Add your sweetener of choice (I chose honey). Add hemp hearts until you get a dough like consistency. Add in your shredded coconut and anything else you'd like. Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate. If you get a thick enough consistency, you can roll them into balls. Yum yum! Excellent chocolate replacement. I don't have a photo but picture... dark, nutty, delightful. :)

Ya! I used 2 heaping tablespoons. It seemed pretty good with that amount. You can add more or less, all according to taste.
This sounds yummy. I am going to make it. How much honey should I use?
