Hi Jerseygirl, thank you for coming here and asking this question! I agree with Gravehearted, they are loaded with sugar up to 72%! I have actually used carob pods as a mulch in my garden and wow it smelled GREAT!!! It did have a caution on the bag not to let dogs eat it as it could poison them (just like too much chocolate) and the compounds that are toxic are in higher concentration in the pods and beans than in chocolate itself. Carob pods are high in tannins (the substance that would make them toxic or medicinal) so I would avoid them as well for that reason. A site I checked actually recommended them for rabbits!!! So I am not going to list them as a source.
