SweetGourmet Unsweetened Carob Drops 2M | No Caffeine Chocolate | 1 Pound

If I could give this 100 stars I would. These are incredibly delicious. We don’t eat them to taste like chocolate. We eat them because we like them but I have to say we.LOVE these more than any others that we have tried. I do also appreciate that they don’t have stimulants in them like chocolate does I put a little sea salt on my and I feel like I’m in heaven.🤗

I first tried baking with carob chips five decades ago. A backpacker at the time, I wanted biscuits loaded with dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate that wouldn't turn into a melted mess in my pack. Carob chips were perfect. It is a pseudo-chocolate in taste, but I liked it for its own sake. Plus, you can buy it with no added sugar, as in this product. With a bag of such biscuits, I could for a few days with nothing else to eat. And while biscuits are pretty heavy, I could leave all the cooking gear at home. Today I eat carob chips with a spoon of peanut butter as a quick, sustaining snack during eating windows in my intermittent fasting program. I love it.

I made PB cups & I couldn't even tell it wasn't chocolate. These are super bomb & get a million stars! They melt good with avocado oil. I added a drizzle at a time until the chips became syrupy. When the 'chocolate' hardened it has the perfect texture & snap. Even the taste of chocolate lingers on the tongue, exactly like the real thing. To be honest, the burps taste like chocolate! Very excellent product. I can hardly wait to make chocolate bark, Snickers, Peppermint Patties, orange chocolate & Mounds/Bounty bars & anything else I want. I also recommend a powder just like real cocoa powder: Herbaila 1lb carob powder for brownies etc.

Terrible tasting

Updated review: I bought a second bag on November 2nd, today is the 15th and they still have not been shipped. It now shows they don't have any in stock and I don't see any way to contact the seller. When I bought a bag earlier in the year I received them within a few days. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!Review from first order: I bought these for my dog since she can't have real chocolate. I think they are really nasty tasting and smell really bad as well. But I did buy them for my dog and she loves them. I was going to buy the largest bag but there were so many comments of people saying there's was melted. The bag I received was not melted so when they're gone I will probably buy the larger bag for my dog. I give her a little bit of carob plus some dried cranberries and dried blueberries for a snack a few times a week.

I'm used to eating Mrs. J's they are soft and creamy and super delicious and the unsweetened is sweet. These on the other hand didn't have as much flavor and had a strange texture to them. I'll prob bake with them and see how they are but they are not for snacking.

I almost didn't get these carob chips based on the conflicting reviews, but I am glad I went ahead and got them. These are sweet enough that I don't want added sweetener. To me, they taste much better than the sweetened carob chips that I had previously. My husband now has a breakfast of various kinds of nuts, coconut flakes, and these carob chips that keeps him going for hours. For the first time in years, I was able to make no-sugar Reese's peanut butter type cups by melting these with no sugar peanut butter and adding Roma (coffee alternative). To make them my own, I also added a piece of banana and almond slivers. Sooo good! For those new to melting these things, it helps to have a double boiler, so you boil water, then put another pan on top of that water in which you put the carob chips. This allows them to melt without scalding. I fully recommend these. This is my second purchase.

Love these
