I understand the pain, but folks need to get over it. Carob is delicious. It’s just that it’s not in any way a chocolate substitute any more than vanilla is, and that was the problem. One of my favorite ice cream toppings is carob syrup on butter pecan.
Gee, I’m not even sure which candy bars he’s referring to here. The ones you found in every old timey health food store (and still do) are Tiger Bars which are as sweet as any other candy bar - unsurprising given that their primary ingredient is, like other candy bars, high fructose corn syrup. I always liked them - hell, now I WANT one.
