Carob Whispies

A very delicious and healthy snack or tea time nibble! Carob whispies are so easy to make that even kids can make them with little help. My family loves these chewy, chocolatey no-bake drop cookies! If you like, you can substitute cocoa powder for carob powder. Enjoy! (This recipe by is from the Summer 2004 issue of the Keepers at Home catalog.)
