» Brownie Carob Chip Oatmeal Cookies - A gourmet chocolate blog about healthy chocolate containing the best chocolate information about fine chocolate…

I know not everyone is chocaholic like me. I simply just love chocolate. Some of us don’t share my love or enthusiasm. Try Carob Brownie Oatmeal cookies. Carob is a popular substitute for chocolate. Hooray for substitutes. Just like Splenda, or Sweet and Low is a substitute for sugar. Just like soy is used to make vegetarian chicken. Which is no substitute for the REAL Chicken.

Substitutes are dandy and all. They just don’t beat the real thing. They come close, but no cigar!!

I guess it’s whatever floats your boat. I like the real thing. The real thing is better than a substitute any day.
