Carob balls are a non- chocolate treat which makes a perfect lunch box addition for a child or adult. The combination of almonds, coconut, honey and carob powder is irresistible and once you make these little treasures you will have to hide them from the kids! And to keep the adults happy? – Add a teaspoon of rum before you knead them, and firm up with a little more carob powder if need be. But keep these away from the kids for sure!

You don’t need to add the honey, the balls are perfectly OK to make without honey but you will need to add some additional coconut cream to keep the mix together. For those wanting to get rid of their bacterial intestinal problems or a yeast infection, you are best to avoid the honey, otherwise you will be fine.
