Carob Balls Recipes

CAROB "BALLS" / AKA CONFECTION

Steps:

• In a food processor, fine chop the almonds.
• Add the carob, pine nuts and coconut and process until mixed.
• Mix the honey and water together and add gradually to the almond mixture while the processor is running.
• Keep the processor running until a dough is formed.
• Roll into balls and then coat with the carob or coconut or ground almonds.
• Refrigerate until needed.

CAROB BALLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and sweetener. Stir over med-low heat until melty.
• Remove from heat.
• GRADUALLY add the carob powder and stir it in- ditto the sesame seeds.
• It's easier to roll into balls once the mixture has cooled a little, so if you can, let it sit 5-10 minutes or even refrigerate.
• Scoop up a chunk with a spoon and roll it into a walnut-sized ball (1 inch) in your fingers. Put it in a small bowl with the coconut and shake the bowl around till the carob ball is coated.
• Store the balls in the fridge. They freeze great, but you'll have to let them thaw or they'll break your teeth!
