I can't have coconut oil, help!

I tried to make the chips with palm shortening and they are the consistency of frosting. They melt at room temperature and would make a mess in a cookie.


I can't have chocolate or soy or almonds, coconuts or cane sugar. We are using fructose.


I need the information fast if anyone has some advice for me.


We are making Christmas cookies this week and hope to have some carob chip peanut butter cookies. I have a very limited diet so I might have to make substitutions but if I could find a substitute or other method of making carob chips that are solid, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks!
