    The Best Dairy-Free Caramels for Baking and Special Treats

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on October 19, 2019 Food and Grocery, Popular Food Guides

    Updated October 2020! Sweet, chewy caramels are a holiday classic for baking and enjoying. But most varieties are made with butter, cream, and/or condensed milk. Fortunately, there are now several brands of vegan caramels that can be melted for dipping caramel apples, baked into desserts, or simply savored. This round up includes those straight-up dairy-free Caramels plus Caramel Baking Chips and bonus chewy Caramel Candy Bars.

    More Dairy-Free Caramel Candy Bars & Treats

    I couldn’t resist adding this “bonus” section of caramel candy bars and bites. These aren’t caramel-flavored items. They’re sweets filled with ooey, gooey, dairy-free caramel. These product lines are a bit more varied, so I’ve simply included details and links to more information.

    • Sjaak’s Caramel Bars – This was one of the first dairy-free caramel candy bars that I tried, and the soft vegan caramel centers did not disappoint. Plus the bars come in both dark and “milk” chocolate varieties.
    • Eli’s Earth Candy Bars – These are also made by Sjaak’s, but they’re more “complete” vegan candy bars that come in a few varieties.
    • Sjaak’s Caramel Bites – They make these dairy-free chocolate covered caramels in a few flavors.
    • No Whey Caramel Candy Bars – They make caramel and nougat candy bars that are not only dairy-free, but egg-free and allergy-friendly too. They’re even coconut-free.
    • No Whey Caramels – Think boxes of chocolate-covered caramels with these treats. And these are also allergy-friendly and coconut-free.
    • Go Max Go Candy Bars – They make vegan takes on classic candy bars, including Snickers (called Jokerz) and Milky Way (called Twighlight) bars.
    • Amella Caramels – These chocolate-covered bites come in sea salt and cold brew coffee.
    • EatingEvolved Caramel Cups – They look like a Reese’s, but these chocolate cups are filled with salted caramel and are dairy-free and paleo-friendly.
    • Booja Booja Organic Almond Salted Caramel Truffles – Now this is a decadent brand! You can order these from the U.S., but they’re much cheaper in the U.K.
    • Chocolate Inspirations Vegan Caramel Bars – Their Sweet Buddies Caramel Bars come in a few varieties, some chocolate covered, some simply salted and dotted with peanuts.
    • Choices Chocolate Caramels – Choices is a store brand in the U.K., and this is their dairy-free version of Rolos.
    • Chocolate-Covered Cocomels – Their caramel candies are enrobed in dairy-free dark chocolate. These come in classic square caramels and round bites.
