Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw carob powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)

Instructions
Line a baking sheet or a flat tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the raw carob powder, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until a smooth and glossy mixture forms.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts and dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin layer using a spatula. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness.
Place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the carob bark is completely solid.
Once solidified, remove the tray from the freezer and break the bark into pieces of your desired size.
Store the raw carob bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain its firm texture.
Enjoy your homemade raw carob bark as a healthy snack or after-dinner treat!
