Missy J’s Carob Candy Bar, Original, Organic

Description: Missy J, founder of Missy J’s Carob Treats, started her carob journey after she got some pretty disturbing news from her doctor — she has MS. She always wondered why chocolate, caffeine, sugar, and dairy were so hard on her body. Now she knew — and they had to go. As a lover of all things “treats,” this made her feel as if she was in a dietary “straight jacket.” It wasn’t long before she found a connection to the most chocolate-like carob on the planet and decided to make her own brand of treats. You see, carob that is used as a chocolate substitute comes from the pod and not the seeds. But, there is a large market for the seeds because they are used as locust bean gum in many industries. So many carob farmers are growing the best seed varieties, which means skinny, not as sweet pods. But Missy J’s found one single farmer in Australia who grows only for the pods. He grows to yield only the sweetest pods — the world’s only sweet variety of organic carob. He perfectly roasts the pods and grinds them into flour. And that’s the secret behind the chocolatey treats made at Missy J’s. Given her health issues, Jodi made it Missy J’s mission to provide “better for you” snacks and treats that hold taste as first and foremost. And of course, just as important, are healthier ingredient options that are always organic and non-GMO; like coconut sugar and sustainable palm oil. So yeah, sounds pretty much like a “better for you” treat indeed! (*Missy J’s is owned and operated by Azure Standard).
