There are certain things in life that theoretically make complete sense: extended warranties, Communism, drive-thru liquor stores, culottes, and carob. Free of refined sugar, preservatives, cocoa, caffeine and any other serotonin-releasing stimulants, carob confections are a well-intentioned alternative for the cocoa-intolerant and those who simply aren’t fond of chocolate (aka lying SOBs).
But when it came time to sample Goldie's Premium Carob Bars, the sweet choco-substitute had such an overbearing chalky texture and potent after taste that even I couldn't choke it down. And that's pretty bad considering this comes from a girl who used to consume her own makeshift peanut butter cups (3 parts frozen Yoo Hoo, 2 parts crushed peanuts). And while it hurts my heart to report that Goldie has created a vague approximation of the real chocolate deal, I know she'll appreciate the constructive criticism in the long run. Tough love!
