Carob Blobs

The thing with carob is to just get chocolate out of your head. It's not chocolate, it's not a chocolate substitute either. It's just a nice-tasting brown bean ground to powder that's good for you (just like chocolate is!)

CAROB HONEY BLOBS

2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 - 3/4 cups honey
3 - 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp soda
1 cup carob

I dropped by ice cream scooper onto cookie sheets and baked at 350 for 15 minutes.

FROSTING

2 packages cream cheese
2 big mixing spoon scoops of carob powder
1/2 cup honey
2 TBSP butter
2 tsp vanilla

The boys said, "This is way better than some kinds of ice cream we've had before, but not better than all kinds."
