Chocolate is made from ground roasted cocoa beans.
Cocoa is chocolate with some of the fat removed, pulverized.
Carob is another plant altogether.
 
I'm not sure why carob is touted as a "natural" substiture for chocolate;
I do believe carob confections have less calories than chocolate
confections (less sugar needed for equivilent sweetness and/or fewer
calories in the carob than in the chocolate?).
