Did John the Baptist have a sweet tooth?

I recently learned that the locust bean is commonly known as carob these days and I recall from my childhood that John the Baptist survived for times in the wilderness on wild honey and locusts. My thinking is that JTB wasn't eating bugs, but surviving quite nicely on sweets.

Hey GS you know he had something like that in his rucksack!
Nacho, depends on what direction you want the date to go!

Well, he baptized his donut in his coffee every morning.
