I had hoped I might be able to make hot chocolate with carob, so I
experimented by putting some chips on non-stick foil and heating it at
250. To my surprise they don't even melt, but "roasting" does make them
taste more like chocolate.

What are they good for? Can you melt them?

Carob powder is disgusting stuff.  I don't know why anyone would think
it's comparable to cocoa/chocolate; you wasted your money.

Are they still flogging that stuff as a substitute for chocolate. I knew
some people back in the 70s who were into health foods and kept trying
to get us to use it. I tried it. It was crap then and it never got any
better.

They are good for dog treats. They can be melted with some oil with them.

Other uses, put them in a cloth bag to make a paper weight.

Carob is good for nothing. For some reason, hippies used to prefer it
to chocolate.

"Carob and ****Tom Del Rosso**** are good for nothing..."

It is the attempt to fool a chocolate lover. It has some qualities that resemble chocolate but it isn't anywhere close to the same. It makes me

just eat them. but pretty much i agree with the others
that i'd rather have chocolate itself.

as someone who used to make a lot of chocolates there
hasn't been anything comparable in taste and texture so
unless forced i see no reason to use something else
instead.

and for those who hate on white chocolate, i've always
enjoyed it in small amounts and some chocolates i've made
are quite wonderful (maple walnut filled or plain maple
and most coconut oriented ones of various flavors).

If you go in for that sort of thing. I like an occasional
truffle or chocolate-covered caramel. But I always return to
plain semisweet chocolate.

They're not good for much. Carob will never taste like chocolate. If
you want to make hot chocolate, buy cocoa powder.

That is the way I make it most of the time. We often have chocolate
syrup on hand and it is made from the recipe on the cocoa powder can.
IIRC it is one part cocoa powder, two parts sugar and two parts water.
Mix the sugar and cocoa together and stir in the water. Put it on on
high heat and bring it to a boil and let if boil for about a minute and
then add a bit of vanilla extract. It's great on ice cream and makes
decent cocoa. If the have no syrup on hand I mix cocoa powder and
sugar in a mug and then stir in a bit of milk. Then add hot milk.
It makes a great hot chocolate for a cold winter night, way better than
any commercial syrup or powder and definitely better than anything that
comes in a packet to which you add hot water.

If you don't think of it as chocolate, it's got an interesting flavor.

Of course, if chocolate gave you migraines, you might be more receptive
to the idea of carob.

Mom used to somes make it from scratch.

Per serving:

3/4 c milk
1.5 TB sugar
1.5 TB coco powder (or 2 TB).

Right, there are multiple reasons. It tastes like cheap chocolate, like "chocolatey" Easter bunnies.

People have been making hot chocolate with water since the 70's, and I
think that's bad enough that carob might possibly have been better, if
only it would melt.

Tom Del Rosso is not a "newbie", although he doesn't post here often.
He was likely referring to GM's invalid email address. I certainly do

Thanks all, anyway, except the anonymous GM thing which I'm sure is >>>>>> anonymous for a good reason.

You've got that right. :)

Greg is wrong about most things, but he's right about YOU, and he's
definitely not anonymous.  He lives in the 4th ward of Evanston,
Illinois.  I live in the 2nd ward of Richmond Heights, Missouri.
You live on Dataw Island, in SC, and you also use your real name.  I
wonder where Tom Del Rosso lives, and if that is *his* real name.

For having me "killfiled", Jill SURE does "obsess" about me a lot,
lol...

I guess I "live in Jill's head"...

Seems mutual  <chortle>

Tom Del Rosso is not a "newbie", although he doesn't post here often. He
was likely referring to GM's invalid email address.  I certainly do not obsess about GM or his pal Bryan or their hateful posts.  I am not the
one who drags their nyms into everything constantly.  They show up for
me only in replies.

No doubt. And once in a while people show up here and reply to
woodenhead and puuddenhead so that they slip past filters.

Why all the negativity? I quite like the taste. Of course I prefer
chocolate.

I prefer chocolate too of course, but it has oxalates which form kidney stones.

there's a lot of things that have oxalates including many
vegetables.

moderation and diversity are important in what you eat.
