Like chocolate, carob does come from the Good Lord by way of one of His trees. Carob pods are taken from the evergreen tree called Ceratonia siliqua. The pods produce a pulp that is dried then roasted and, finally, ground to form a carob powder that is used as a sweet chocolate substitute. This powder can also be purchased as carob chips for use in melting like chocolate, or used in recipes whole.
But, for making your own candy, you can get carob at Candyland Crafts, at a more than reasonable price. If you have a good health food store in your area, you can probably find carob powder or chips there, too. If you would like to make some candy using carob, I have compiled a collection of recipes for you to try. I am not a really big fan of carob, but I must admit these recipes make my mouth water. I am going to have to get Joanna to whip up a batch as a reward for these pages. :) I've enjoyed several of her healthy concoctions. I have to say they are pretty delicious.
