Vegetarian Advice: Carob Valentine's Day CandyQuestion: Where can I find nice carob based Valentine's Day candy (not cheap kid's stuff)?I would like to buy Valentine's Day chocolate for a woman, but she cannot digest chocolate. I know she uses carob chips as a substitute for chocolate chips and likes them, but I cannot find any carob based Valentine's Day candy. Where can I find nice Valentine's Day candy (not cheap kid's stuff) that isn't chocolate based? Does carob Valentine's Day candy exist? Thanks! - M.A. 
Savvy Vegetarian Advice: Carob Valentine's Day Candy exists!Dear M.A. First, try a natural food store - maybe call around to see if they have carob valentine candy or gift baskets including carob candy. I looked online and found a few sites selling carob candy. These two were okay in a pinch: Goddess Chocolate, and Bulk Foods. The best was Healthy Trader. They had a carob truffle valentine gift box for $15.89 + shipping, a little more for gift wrapping - look under February. If you order today and rush it, you should be able to get it in time for Valentine's Day. Consider Other Options: Take her out for dinner, restaurant of her choice. Give her a beautiful card and roses (be aware that the flower industry is extremely non-fair trade, and uses more toxic chemicals than any other agricultural industry) Maybe a gift, or gift certificate instead of the roses, or an organic fruit basket instead of candy. Bake her a carob cake, if you're handy in the kitchen. If not, hire someone who is. SV's Valentine's Day Chocolate Cake was submitted to us as a carob cake, so it should work well if you substitute carob for chocolate. Hint: Buy a heart shaped cake pan. Tell her how you feel about her - that's the best Valentine's gift of all! Happy Valentine's Day!
