During the month of Ramadan it is customary to eat two essential meals per day, the pre-dawn suhoor and the evening meal iftar. People visit friends, neighbors, and family for iftar, when sweets are traditionally eaten. This recipe replaces cane sugar with carob molasses and is a version of a traditional iftar treat.
