gluten-free Caramel?

Does anyone know if there is any gluten free caramels out there? I am making a brownie recipe for a pampered chef show that calls for caramels - the chewy kind, not the hard kind. I know Werthers have wheat in them.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know of a store bought caramel, but I made these at Christmas (very easy outside of the stirring :lol: ). When eating them I thought many times they would be awesome incorporated into a brownie somehow. I'd love your recipe since I had no idea how to work a caramel brownie recipe (I'm not a creative chef - I just know how to follow recipes!!)

Caramels

(makes 144 pieces)

1 c. brown sugar, light brown 1/2 c. butter

1 c. corn syrup, light 2/3 c. cream, thick

1 1/2 c sweetened condensed milk 2 t. vanilla

1 c. granulated sugar

Combine all ingredients except vanilla. Cook over low heat to 240 degrees, about 1/2 hour, stirring constantly, until mixture is the firmness of a caramel when dropped in cold water. Add vanilla and pour into a well greased 9x13 inch shallow pan. Sprinkly nuts over hot caramels (if desired) and press into candy. As soon as cold, turn out into a board and cut into 1 inch squares. Wrap in waxed paper.

CeliacMom,

Do you have a dedicated gluten free condensed milk you use? I am HIGHLY sensitive to gluten. I've been CRAVING a caramel for SO long!

Thank you!

I just use Wal-Mart's Great Values brand. It says gluten-free on the label. I've also used Eagle I believe for pumpkin pie, but I can't be positive on that. The ingredients are whole milk and sugar. I'd think it was pretty darn safe. I guess I'd put it in the same category as regular milk. I think it would be hard to CC it.

I must warn you though...these are really goooood. I think I ate about 134 of the pieces. Even when they started to get older and crystallized, I was still wolfing them down! :D

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
