Thanks for your feedback, Emily! I’m glad to hear your substitutions worked out and you enjoyed them.

I made this recipe at the request of someone else and it’s divine! Because I currently live in central Europe and not all these ingredients are available, I had to use some substitutions. I used cocoa powder instead of carob; honey instead of agave; peanut butter instead of sunbutter; and 100% rice puffs instead of kamut. I can buy coconut oil, which is no small miracle, so I used that for both the squares and the frosting. Though I don’t know what the original version tastes like, the substitutions seemed to have worked like a charm. Thank you very much for a great recipe that seems to be extremely versatile!!!

Ricki: Thanks! I'd hate to miss out on a challenge :)

Pure2Raw Twins & Junia: The combination is intriguing, isn't it? I love both butters on their own, so why not put them together? :)

Amy: Thanks for the invitation! I will check it out.

Bitt: Yes, kamut is an ancient grain, but I'd imagine this would work with rice crisps, too.

Mihl: I rarely use carob as well, but in this recipe it tastes like cocoa!

These look beautiful! I almost never use the box of carob that sits in my pantry. I think I just found a way to use it up.

I think kamut is a type of wheat…but this sounds like it could be altered to be with rice crisps instead. I like the sound of it.

This sounds incredible...love the flavor and textures you've come up with. I host a weekly link-up event at my blog called Slightly Indulgent Tuesday - I'd love for your to join in. Though my blog is gluten-free/refined sugar-free the recipes shared don't have to be - they should just be healthier in some way. Your spin on food would be a great addition to the other recipes there.

Hugs,
Amy
