Safe Caramel Dip?
« on: September 07, 2012, 07:44:55 AM »
I am looking for a safe store bought caramel sauce/dip for apples.  I haven't looked around yet.  Suggestions?

Unless something has changed, Marzettis is mum on the manufacturing process because the FDA said that was acceptable.  Guess which brand I don't use. 

Beyond that I am of little help because my kids would rather dip apples in ketchup  :insane:

We've used Smucker's caramel (though not to dip apples in).  Southern Living has several caramel and apple recipes this month.

Just saw Sweet Lava brand, manufactured by Walmart (huge display in deli) with no warning.  Might be worth investigating.

I'm sure it's better too, but I am looking for a commercially prepared product.

I finally got a phone call back after I had to call again.  I was told the Sweet Lava product contains no tree nuts, does not share a line with tree nuts and the plant it's made is also free of tree nuts.

So we will give it a try this weekend on some apples.

They didn't happen to mention whether it was x-contaminated with peanuts did they?
