Caramel sauce, chewy caramel candies, or the hard stuff?

You can easily make your own caramel sauce from condensed milk (or coconut milk):

Mackintosh (now made by Nestle) might be safe; I haven't checked in a long time.

Werther's caramel candies have nuts in the facility, and they openly declare there is a chance for cross contact, so definitely stay away from those. 

You can always make your own soft or hard caramel, too, if you cannot find anything safe.  It's fairly easy to do if you have a candy thermometer. 
ANA peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, potato, sorghum

I've seen several mentions online (including the 2019 SnackSafely guide) that Kraft Caramels are safe, but I've never called.  It'd be a place to start, though.
TX - USA
DS - peanut, tree nut, milk, eggs, corn, soy, several meds, many environmentals. Finally back on Xolair!
DD - mystery anaphylaxis, shellfish.
DH - banana/avocado, aspirin.  Asthma.
Me - peanut, tree nut, shellfish, banana/avocado/latex,  some meds.
