Years ago when I quit eating chocolate and developed a healthy addiction to carob (and it took a few attempts at various carob to find one I liked) I got a bit creative and decided I could still have recee's if I just did it right. I came up with a quick way,and everyone I have ever made it for has loved it and they always say "can you make that stuff you make"? It's so easy, maybe someone here would like to try it too.
Amounts and portions are really up to you. You figure out what you like by trying it a few times.
1 Cup carob chips (I use sweetened)
1/2 Cup all natural peanut butter
Put carob in a microwavable bowl and melt slightly until they carob can be stirred to a creamy consistency
Then add the peanut butter
Mix together well and spread on a large tupperware (or whatever else "ware" ) lid.
Put in the freezer till it's totally set up.
I then bend and twist the lid to raise it up from the lid and break the carob into pieces for serving.
Remember you can make as little or as much as you want and adjust the peanut butter to strength you like.
It's quick and easy, and it really does taste great! Let me know how you like it.
BTW, I eat chocolate and carob these days, but I still only like this with carob chips ;)

That really sounds good!
When my husband was in college at Walla Walla we used to go to the snack place and get burritos and carob covered peanuts. I just love the two combined. These days I still can not find the exact things they used on/in their burritos. But, they were the best I have ever tasted. Sometimes I wish I still lived there just so I could see if the burritos were the same still. Guess I will just have to keep on trying.
I am going to be trying these reeces recipe though. I love that idea.
(heading out to the store later today for the stuff to make them with)
