Cocoa alternative

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carob

(Other definitions for carob that I've seen before include "Tree yielding chocolate substitute" , "Arabian tree with brownish-purple pods" , "Locust tree" , "that one could use for chocolate" , "Saint John's bread" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
