I found carob chips sweetened with beet sugar. The brand is Chatfields. The bag does not say it is specifically gluten free. However, it does say that they were made in a facility that processes products containing milk. I bought them in my local health food store.

@janice haugen, Like I said on your blog a few days ago, I love your book and baking style. Maybe someday I can take some classes from you....would love to learn more! Happy Holidays, Chef Haugen! Best, Amy

Amy, so glad you were able to find and adapt this recipe from my book of many years ago Fruit-Sweet & Sugar-Free. I so like what you have done with the cookies by dipping them in carob and sprinkling with some coarse sea salt–Yummy!

Thanks. I would probably not trust chips from bulk. I’d be too scared that they got confused with the barley-sweetened ones.

@Elizabeth, I get unsweetened carob chips in bulk at Whole Foods. I have never had any problems with them. I will post about it if I do find an on-line source. Hugs, Amy
