How To Make Carob Chips?

by Hilary
(Michigan)

How can I make carob chips using carob powder at home?

I love carob chips, but I don't want sugar in them. I buy some at the bulk food store which are maltitol sweetened. How can I do the same thing in my own kitchen? I have no prior chocolate-making experience.



Hi Hilary,

Sorry to say I don't have the answer to this myself. I've never 'made my own' carob chips. My friend, Joanna, is very much into natural cooking and eating. She uses carob all the time, so I feel sure she'll have the answer for you.

I'll send this question along to her, so WATCH THIS SPACE for her reply. :-)

Carob Chips
by: Joanna

Here's a carob chip recipe from the "Nourishing Traditions" cookbook . . .

3/4 cup carob powder
1/4 cup Rapadura*
1 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate extract

Place all ingredients in a glass container and set in simmering water until melted. Mix together well. Spread mixture on a piece of buttered parchment paper and allow to cool in the refrigerator. When hardened, remove parchment paper and cut into chips. Store chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

***If you are not familiar with Rapadura, it is dehydrated sugarcane juice that still has it's natural minerals and nutrients intact, particularly silica. It is like brown sugar, and has a great flavour. Use in recipes just as you would sugar, but be careful not to overdo, as it can upset the body chemistry if you have too much, just like sugar can. Buy at health food shops or co-ops.

Thank You For The Carob Chip Recipe
by: lusi

We are new converts to carob since starting a low salicylate diet, and I've been Googling how to convert the organic carob powder I've just purchased into carob buttons.

I'm off to try this recipe and will be substituting some of the ingredients to make it *safe* for our kids but thanks for the starting point!
