No chocolate for you? - Mon 31st Oct 2011
When you can't have theobromine in chocolate try carob powder instead. It really is a great alternative to chocolate or cocoa. Carob is a little sweeter though so reduce your sugar a little in recipes.

I made a great "chocolate" sponge with this and it worked perfectly. I haven't tried it with milk yet to see if it makes a nice cocoa drink but I am sure it would work if I added a bit of vanilla powder.
