Carob chocolate is a type of confectionery made using carob powder, which is derived from the dried pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), a plant native to the Mediterranean region. Carob is often used as an alternative to traditional cocoa in chocolate-like products due to its naturally sweet flavor and other health benefits. Unlike cocoa, carob does not contain caffeine or theobromine, two compounds found in chocolate that can have stimulating effects. As a result, carob chocolate is often marketed as a caffeine-free, healthier alternative to regular chocolate.

Key ingredients in carob chocolate typically include:

  Carob powder: The main ingredient, providing a naturally sweet, mildly nutty taste.

  Sweeteners: Often sugar, honey, or other natural sweeteners are used to balance the flavor.

  Fat sources: Depending on the product, fats such as coconut oil or palm oil may be used instead of cocoa butter.

  Milk or dairy alternatives: Some carob chocolates are made with milk or milk substitutes, making them suitable for vegetarians or those following a dairy-free diet.

Carob chocolate is commonly found in solid form, bars, or as an ingredient in snacks and baked goods. It can also be processed into carob chips, used in baking or as a topping.
