Carob Powder

click image to enlarge	Carob, like Cacao, is a bean harvested throughout our world. Carob is rich in Calcium, where Cacao is rich in Magnesium, so they balance each other in combination. Calcium clarifies and sharpens flavor components of sweets and EFAs. Carob and Vanilla intensify flavors in sweet dishes with Cacao, nuts and seeds. You can gauge Carob quality by aftertaste. Roasted Carob has a bitter aftertaste. Our Carob is sweet from start to finish, as it's been ground slowly at low temperatures. Low temperature, fine ground Carob is challenging to produce, as the sugars and oils in Carob tend to gum together during grinding. Special cold grinding surface equipment is required for this.

Recipes Using Carob Powder

Makes a great addition to Bliss Kisses for a sweeter chocolate taste. Try using half Cacao and half Carob or substituting Carob for the Tocotrienols in the recipe below ...

Laura's Bliss Kisses

4 Tbsp	Mayan Gold Cacao (Chocolate) Powder or Chocolate Bliss powder	$25 + S/H
4 Tbsp	Tocotrienols	$20 + S/H
¼ tsp	Sun Fire Salt	$12 + S/H
1½ Tbsp	Vanilla Agave Nectar	$25 + S/H
1½ Tbsp	Coconut Oil or Cacao Butter	$11 + S/H
Optional:
1 Tbsp	Chia Seeds	$10 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Goji Berries	$14 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Cacao Nibs	$8 + S/H
½ tsp	Vitamineral Green or Blue-Green Algae	$55 + S/H
2 drops	Orange Essential Oil
3/4 tsp	Cinnamon

Stir the dry ingredients together in a bowl. If you are including any of the optional ingredients, add them in now too. If you decide to add any of the powdered greens, I suggest you also add the orange essential oil or cinnamon to cover any potential "green flavor".

Add the Coconut Oil and Agave Nectar and stir. It works best and is more fun to get your hands into the mix now and really mush all the ingredients together so that the oil and agave bind the dry ingredients well.

Create small teaspoon-size drops of the mixture and place them on wax paper. You can see pictures of the size and yummy messiness. You will get about 10 little bliss kisses per recipe. Freeze your bliss kisses for best taste and longevity, though you may find that after licking your fingers you desire to eat them all up quickly.

You can also use Carob in your bliss kisses to make a sweeter kiss. Try using half Cacao and half Carob or substituting Carob for the Tocotrienols in the recipe.

For an extra-creamy and more truffle-like bliss kiss that can sit out at room temperature, substitute Cacao Butter for the Coconut Oil. Mmmmmm. Enjoy!
