Carob is in the legume family like cacao, but on the alkaline side of the scale. Don't ever bite into something with carob in it thinking you are getting a substitute for chocolate-you will be disappointed. But if you can appreciate the distinct taste for what it is-I think you will enjoy the below immensely!
3/4 c almond butter
1/2 c carob powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 raw honey, brown rice syrup or agave nectar (I used honey)
1 tsp vanilla
1 c puffed rice cereal (or another puffed cereal)
1/2 c diced nuts (pecans work great)
unsweetened coconut flakes
1. Thoroughly combine the almond butter, carob powder, cinnamon, honey and vanilla. (Dough will be stiff.)
2. Knead in the nuts and cereal.
3. With wet hands, form walnut-sized balls. While the ball is still damp, roll it around in a bowl of coconut flakes to coat. (You can also shake it in a ziplock bag of coconut flakes.)
4. Store in the fridge for a week or so or in the freezer.
