Carob Nut Fudge

Submitted by Enjolinfam

"My friend Wendy Harris made this for me and it was so delicious that I had to get the recipe from her! I have some friends that are allergic chocolate and carob is so much healthier for you that this is a good alternative "fudge." It's not vegan only because of the honey which I believe is a must for the fantastic taste. Cooking time doesn't include time to chill."

I hate giving bad reviews, especially when a recipe has a lot of potential like this one, so I'm not going to rate it - the problem with the recipe is that it is MUCH too dry, there's no way it'll stick together as is... I had to add 1/2 cup of skim milk so it would have a decent texture. I did make a few modifications but those shouldn't have affected the consistency. I used cocoa instead of carob powder, subbed part of the soymilk powder with ground flaxseed and some berry-green powder, and used corn syrup instead of honey (honey's just too expensive to experiment with). I also nuked (30 sec) the peanut butter/syrup so it would be easier to mix. The flavour is quite good, but if you're expecting something sweet, you'll need to add more sweetener, or shape into balls and roll in some powdered sugar. It's more of an energy-ball type snack than fudge.
