When life gives you extra caramel, you make Dark Chocolate Caramels (Paleo, Dairy Free)!
Last year, when I first made my caramel glazed donuts for my cookbook photoshoot, I was left with half a pot of delicious caramel sauce and nothing to do with it. And by nothing, I mean play chocolatier and make pretty little Paleofied Rolos! But before doing so, I also poured some warm caramel into these cute little molds and wrapped them in parchment paper for gifts! I am sure that the possibilities of this caramel are endless!
I took the easy way out and used enjoy life chocolate chips, but you can use the coating from my chocolate truffles if you'd prefer to have a version using honey.
And as an added bonus – some reviews are in for my book and some of the bloggers are giving away copies as well! Be sure to read their full reviews and enter on their sites for a chance to win!
Kelly says “First I made macadamia waffles. Oh. My. Goodness. They are out-of-this-world. Then tonight I made hamburger buns. To quote Zoe: “These are the best burgers EVER.” We loved them. A lot.”
Taylor Made it Paleo (ends in 1 week)
Taylor says “Danielle has created a paleo version of almost everything in Against All Grain, (even chips and salsa!), and I have no doubt it would help to make the transition easier for many people out there”

Heather says “Just about every dish you’ve ever adored can be found in these pages, only yummier and free of processed junk. The photography is a feast for the eyes – sure to inspire you even on the days you don’t want to cook! My favorite part: Though Danielle’s vibrance is most definitely behind every recipe, she’s also right in front, sharing the story of her transformation.”

I am SO glad to have found your blog. Our stories are similar – but after 4 years of remission and off and on with the makers diet I have been struggling with a huge flare since October – after being given remicade or surgery as an answer, i knew it was time for real change and I found an incredible doctor/naturopath in San Fran and started GAPS – I’ve been doing so well but tapering off of prednisone has sent me into regression this week. Such a devastating disease but looking forward to the day when I am doing as well as you and drug free! its so encouraging to see that you have managed to have children as well! You’re such an inspiration!!!

Wow this is amazing! Im going to made this, but with some whiskey ;D

HI Danielle,
Where do you usually purchase pastured chickens in SF bay area?
Against All Grain
I haven’t found a good source yet, but I get pastured eggs at my local farmers market. If you find any let me know! 🙂
Chrissy Bernazzani
Tara Firma Farms has great pastured chickens and they allow ale cart. I have been a member with them for over 3 years. They are in Petaluma but deliver all over the bay area monthly, biweekly, etc.

These sound so wonderful! I love love love anything caramel! 🙂

Hi All! These Look FANTASTIC! Since going grain free, we haven’t been getting Rolos and the like, for fear of wheat or modified corn starch (and there is WAY to much sugar in those kind of things). But now, we could make these and enjoy the sweet, savory tast of them! Thank You! Oh, one more thing. On the giveaway, most of the entries have to do with Twitter, Facebook, and/or Pinterest. What if you don’t have any of those things, like I don’t? And, I sent someone I know an email with the link to one of the giveaway objects, and she subscribed, and she got an entry, but on my Entries Earned, it still says that I only have one entry. Why is that? Thank you for all of your hard work in getting your book and recipes out there for other people who don’t have very many places to go for wheat and grain free food! It has really made a difference!

Received your cookbook yesterday and I can’t quit reading it and planning menus! Love the layout!

Hey Danielle–It was great meeting you in Seattle! I was the one that made you kind of cry when you signed my book–sorry! (I am the Amy on page 358 of your cookbook!) Just wanted to let you know that I took your chocolate/coconut oil mix from this recipe and made chocolate covered bananas. I used a toothpick to dip slices of ripe bananas in the chocolate/coconut oil and stuck them on a tray lined with parchment paper and popped them in the freezer. Delicious!! Such a fun, little treat when I need it! Thanks!
Adam Andresen
WOW.It’s been a while since I broke out the Choclatier in me, These look like just the thing to re-awaken him.
I also saw your coffee truffles which reminded me of one of my creations Irish Cremes, I used a 100ml double shot esspresso and 50ml of my favorite scotch in the ganash.
Yup think there on the to do list.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Danielle.
I had to write and tell you that I have your cookbook and I LOVE IT!! I have tried the Blueberry the Waffles, Hamburger Buns, Banana Bread and the Cinnamon Applesauce so far and I can’t tell you how happy we were with the results!! Everything tasted AWESOME!! I appreciate your efforts not only for myself and my efforts to eat a “cleaner” diet but for my son as well who was diagnosed with Crohns 5 years ago (he’s now 21). I know about the SCD diet and have tried to encourage him to eat in that way–no luck yet. But now I have a new arsenal with your recipes!! Thank you SO much!

Oh yum, Danielle these look delish! I miss Rolos so much since going dairy free, these will definitely be on my to-make list. Keep up the amazing work, you are making such a positive impact in so many lives!
Kali
I own the cookbook, troll the blog religiously, and am ALWAYS blown away by the recipes, but these little guys actually inspired me to finally comment. Holy eff!!!! They’re incredible!! I used the recipe for homemade chocolate shells and used a dark chocolate cocoa and the dark, rich flavor against the toasty honey caramel is just To. Die. For.
So thanks for all the incredible adaptations, and most especially, thanks for these little joys!!!
Mairéad
These look amazing!!! I reallly wanna make them tomorrow! But just wondering about the chocolate chips. Do they have sugar? As I’m sugar free I’m wondering if it would be OK to make them with raw cacao or v. dark chocolate instead of chips? Thanks
Against All Grain
If you use the chocolate chips, Enjoy Life brand is dairy free, nut free, and soy free. They contain evaporated cane juice and cocoa butter.
