My Aunt-in-law, Barbara Heywood, makes these ultra rich squares whenever we visit. She calls them "chocolatey squares" because they look and taste like chocolate, but aren''t chocolate!!
Heat together water, maple syrup, peanut butter and carob powder and stir until homogeneous. Add coconut, raisins and oatmeal. Mix together and pat into a lightly oiled 8" by 8" pan.
Serve as is or with Carob Icing:
Icing Directions: Mix together and heat. Let simmer until it is the thickness you want. Pour and spread on top of bars.
Serves: 8
