I don't like the amounts they give. I think it doesn't flavor the product as much as I like it. I just estimate and then try it with a tooth pick. I end up using a lot but I want it to be flavorful. icon_lol.gif

I have done it to taste in the past, but I think last time I ended up with about 1/3 of the small bottle for a pound of chocolate?

Maybe try adding in 1 cap-ful at a time until it seems right to you.

Just put small drops in at a time. A cap ful is too much.

Thanks I will start with the drops I don't want it to over power the choc.
