I think I got this recipe from "The Maker's Diet" by Jordan Rubin. It's pretty good and it is raw, but with the honey it is not vegan. You could always substitute sweeteners to make it vegan.

Tips:

Choose high-quality carob powder. Look for organic, unsweetened carob powder that is free of additives and fillers.
Use a food processor or high-powered blender to grind the carob powder into a fine powder. This will help to create a smooth and creamy bark.
Add a little bit of sweetener to the carob mixture, if desired. You can use honey, maple syrup, or stevia to taste.
Be careful not to overheat the carob mixture. If the mixture gets too hot, it will lose its nutrients and become bitter.
Pour the carob mixture into a lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. You can also freeze the carob bark for longer storage.
Enjoy the carob bark as a healthy and delicious snack or dessert. You can also use it as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Raw carob bark is a delicious and healthy snack or dessert that is easy to make at home. It is a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and minerals. Carob bark is also a good alternative to chocolate for people who are allergic to chocolate or who are looking for a healthier option. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious snack that the whole family will enjoy.
