Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Kas, I made some caramels tonight and had thought they would be done in time to give them to my daughter. However I found out that they take a very long time to cool down! But I did dip some out for her to use as a “dip” for apples and it is too firm for that. I am thinking of trying to cook them for a shorter amount of time and see if it might not set up so she can dip apples cut up in them. The other thing is my recipe says if I use a corn margarine it will cause them not to set up and I wondered if that would cause them to be more like a dip then? Guess I will have to experiment on them. When I get a chance to experiment and come out with a dip I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I believe T. Marzetti carmel dip is Gluten free. You will need to check for any other alergens, but it was served at Diabetes camp to both celiac and nonceliac diabetics.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Wild, Thank you so much for the input on the caramel dip. Since you said it was served to diabetics does that mean it has artificial sweeteners in it as well? I am trying to avoid the artificial sweeteners as well as gluten for my daughter. The caramels I made from scratch turned out well and she really ate them up. I think the next time I will try to make the caramel up with out cooking it for so long and see if I can get it to make more of a dip. She also loves caramel dip like Mcs has with apples. I will check on the apple dip and see what I find if I can find it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 No we use as little artifial sugars as we can. We count carbs. And measured the carmel out. They have 2 kinds of carmel dip that particular brand and one is fat free has more sugar then the regular. Hersheys also has some sort of carmel dip, but it was like a dollar more so I didnt even read the lable. Hope this helps. Wild > Wild, > > Thank you so much for the input on the caramel dip.
