Unfortunately I didn't have dates, so I substituted a TBS of maple syrup and my carob powder is roasted, but it still made a very satisfying, semi-raw, tasty treat. My 2-year old liked it (an ultimate taste accomplishment)! I would make it again and look forward to sharing it with curious friends and neighbors! One recipe seems too rich for one person--hopefully their are two adventurous people around when you make it... My blender is about to kick the bucket, to my demise, so I ended up mashing the avocado with a fork and folding in the carob, but it seemed to work just fine. So if all else fails, it's a very flexible recipe!
