"I lucked out on this purchase. Most vitamin and supplement shops have closed, making online buying a gamble. This product is superior. Advised by integrative medicine to take 1 Tbsp in applesauce on an empty stomach for my salmonella inflammation. It tastes great and is clearly well-produced. Highly recommended!"

"I was looking for a hot chocolate replacement since I'm sensitive to caffeine in cocoa. After trying various carobs, this one was the least offensive to my palate. It still doesn't taste exactly like cocoa, but with the right ratio and sweetener, it’s good enough. I plan to keep buying it as long as it's available!"

"I love the taste of this carob powder. It's a wonderful substitute for chocolate and makes a great hot cocoa! When I bake with it and substitute for chocolate, I usually cut the amount in half to avoid a strong or bitter taste. But overall, it's a fantastic option for those who can't have chocolate!"

"After reading several reviews, I decided to try this product. Having a chocolate alternative is fantastic! I mix the carob powder with instant hot water and Oatmilk creamer, and it dissolves quickly. With a quick zap in the microwave, I have my own version of delicious cocoa!"

"I buy this product regularly because it's perfect for smoothies and makes a great hot chocolate. It's become a staple in my kitchen!"

"As someone who enjoys carob, I find this product quite good. The roast level is just right for my taste, and I appreciate that it's healthier than chocolate."

“I’ve tried several brands of carob powder, but Anthony's is my favorite. I wish I could find it in local stores, but I keep coming back to it on Amazon. Its deep dark brown color and strong taste remind me of cocoa powder, and it works well with full-fat oat milk. I love that I can use less sugar thanks to its inherent sweetness. Plus, the packaging is easy to use and keeps it fresh for months!”

“Using this carob powder has been a game changer for me! I can't have caffeine due to my esophagitis, and I missed chocolate. Now, I use roasted carob in everything from candy to cookies and ice cream. It has a subtle sweetness and the same wonderful texture as chocolate. I'm so grateful for this product!”

“Initially, I was all about cocoa, but when my body started reacting poorly to it, I switched to carob. I found that it not only helped with my digestive issues, but its natural sweetness replaced much of the sugar in my recipes. While it doesn't taste exactly like chocolate, it’s a quick adjustment for me. I've always found Anthony's products to be top quality and a great value.”

“I'm allergic to chocolate, but this carob powder is perfect for creating chocolate desserts without the actual chocolate, especially when mixed with some instant decaf!”

“I received the carob powder earlier than expected, and I’m impressed by its super quality. It tastes very good and has no lumps or clumps.”

“I make ‘chocolate milk’ using the carob powder and rice milk for my son with eczema and food sensitivities. He loves it and noticed the difference when I switched brands.”

"As a lifelong chocoholic, I was heartbroken when my digestion turned against chocolate. However, discovering carob was a game changer! It has a chocolate-y taste that rivals Hershey's. I even made some amazing carob ice cream in my mini machine, and it feels like I've won the lottery! Plus, I love that carob is safe for dogs. Perfect for summer!"

"I used to be a chocoholic, but due to my digestive issues, I had to give it up. Finding carob has been a relief! It works perfectly as a substitute in baking, and I made delicious carob baked donuts that my husband enjoyed too. It really helps with my cravings, and I can't wait to try more recipes!"

"After giving up caffeine for health reasons, my husband discovered this product for me. I had my first cup this morning, and it was delicious! I missed having a hot drink, and this is a fantastic replacement for coffee. I'm so happy!"

“I purchased these carob chips for my wife to create treats that mimic chocolate without the caffeine. They arrived quickly and taste great, though the price is slightly high.”

“As someone who can't have caffeine, I'm always on the lookout for chocolate substitutes. I found these carob chips to be just the right sweetness for my trail mix, which includes nuts and pumpkin seeds. I can't wait to bake cookies with them!”

“I love these carob chips! They are perfect for my cookies since I cannot have chocolate. However, I've received them a couple of times as damaged chunks instead of individual chips.”

"I used this to top my chocolate-free tiramisu, and it worked great! It doesn't dissolve as readily as chocolate, but it's a decent alternative."

"I found this Carob Powder to have an interesting taste that's hard to describe, but it does have a bit of a chocolate flavor. I've completely eliminated sugar in my coffee using this and cinnamon, making my coffee healthier. I do notice it can be a bit dense, settling at the bottom of the cup, but that's not a big issue. I’m excited to try baking with it!"

"This is a fantastic option for my son, who is allergic to chocolate. I substitute it equally in recipes requiring cocoa powder, and it tastes fabulous! My husband couldn’t even tell when I baked a cake using it!"

"I had to stop eating chocolate, and these chips are a wonderful substitute. They make the best oatmeal carob cookies, and I will definitely continue to buy them!"

"My son has multiple allergies, including chocolate. Finding these chips as an alternative has been a game-changer. I've made treats in fun shapes, and it's worth the extra cost for him to enjoy something special."

"I recently learned I'm allergic to chocolate. I was trying to recreate the texture of chocolate chips in my pancakes. The texture is great, but the flavor is just okay. They taste pretty good once you adjust your expectations."

"I first experimented with carob chips about five decades ago while backpacking. I wanted biscuits that were packed with dried fruits, nuts, and chocolate, without the risk of melting in my pack. I found carob chips to be perfect for this purpose. They have a pseudo-chocolate taste that I enjoy. Plus, this product offers a no added sugar option. With a bag of these biscuits, I could sustain myself for days without needing anything else. Nowadays, I pair carob chips with a spoonful of peanut butter for a quick, energy-boosting snack during my intermittent fasting windows. I absolutely love it!"

"I made some peanut butter cups with these carob chips and honestly, I couldn't tell they weren't chocolate. These are fantastic! They melt beautifully with avocado oil; I added it gradually until the chips turned syrupy. Once hardened, they have the perfect texture and snap. The chocolate flavor lingers on my palate, and I even enjoy chocolate-flavored burps! I can't wait to create chocolate bark, Snickers, Peppermint Patties, and much more with them. I also recommend trying Herbaila's carob powder for brownies, which is just like real cocoa powder."

"At first, I hesitated to buy these carob chips due to mixed reviews, but I'm so glad I did! They are sweet enough on their own that I don’t feel the need to add any sweetener. I find them much tastier than the sweetened carob chips I used previously. My husband now enjoys a breakfast mix of various nuts, coconut flakes, and these chips that keeps him energized for hours. For the first time in years, I successfully made no-sugar Reese's-style peanut butter cups by melting these chips with no sugar peanut butter and adding a coffee alternative. With a slice of banana and almond slivers, it was delicious! I recommend using a double boiler for melting, which prevents scalding. This is my second purchase!"
