The "chocolate" chip cookies that andrew was able to buy were most assuredly made from carob. Carob is part of the legume family and has a similar taste to cocoa, and is often used as a substitute for chocolate. Here's a recipe I found for "chocolate" chip cookies for dogs, using carob chips: http://www.ehow.com/how_4498178_organic-...okies.html
Victor, that's too bad pet food is so much more expensive where you live. But it's good that humans can eat for less, I suppose! Maybe making homemade diets for your pets there would be more economical than buying the available commercial food?
Oh yes, home-cooked food for my cats and dogs is definitely much cheaper. Plus it's much more nutritious. I still keep some pet food handy just in case I am not free to cook for my pets and they are hungry.
