We recently discovered this treat and we love it! The only bummer thing about it is that according to research carob can stunt the growth of young mammals. That means our children included. However on the upside that means us adults can eat all that we want. And these are good!
Carob Energy bars
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup honey
Mix and Heat the two together on low heat once mixed together remove from heat and add in
1/2 cup carob powder
Once you have the powder mixed in move glop mixture to a square or rectangular baker (depending on how thick you want your bars to be) and mix in
3 cups of seeds, nuts, dried fruit
I find this part is a lot like kneading bread. Press mixture into pan, and cut your squares. Cover with ceran wrap and refrigerate for an hour or until firm. Best kept refrigerated or bars will go soft.
what combination of dried fruit/nuts have you found to be good in these?
