Alas I have no suggestions for the caramel, but I did recently-ish post a gluten-, sugar- and dairy-free brownie recipe which would be trivially moddable to remove the soy (just replace the soya fat with a hard vegetable fat of some description).
I've made that recipe with both ground hazelnuts and ground almonds - both worked. I don't see any reason why other nut meal shouldn't work as well. It does end up producing a pretty dense brownie (starts out a bit fluffier when still-warm, but cools to form something Rather Solid).
Ooh, and here's a recipe for agave nectar caramel, which does include dairy but that should be tinkerable with - e.g. if you use hazelnut flour, hazelnut milk/cream might work in place of the cream the recipe calls for? Ditto rice cream, etc.
