Would they work with two squares of real chocolate instead of the
Carob Powder ? If so , would added sugar be required ?

Carob powder isn't sweet so I would think that dutch process cocoa powder would make a better sub than real chocolate. But if you could grate the chocolate fine you might get away with it.
