Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate Extract for Baking and Cooking, 4 Ounce Bottle

i buy this every year - QUALITY PRODUCT

I make my own Irish Cream (soooo much better than commercially made!) and I need chocolate extract. This stuff has no weird aftertaste and works great. I haven’t tried it for baking yet.

Nielson Massey extracts are good and this really adds a nice complex flavor to my baked goods and sweets The bottle goes a long way and is a good value.

I like their vanilla products, so I tried the chocolate. I normally put vanilla in milk with some splenda and it's great. So I tried chocolate. It's good but it's very very mild tasting of chocolate, not strong at all. If you're looking for a dark chocolate level, this isn't it. I tried it a second time and put a lot more in to see if it would strengthen the chocolate flavor, which it somewhat did, but also added a fair amount of bitterness which I couldn't drink. Probably because it has alcohol in it (after all it is an liquid extract). Probably better for baking than drinking. Overall actually not bad, just not as strong as what I was looking for.

I used Kay Star White ( something like that) but I don’t believe it’s manufactured anymore. This extract is as good or better. One of my secret ingredients baking.

I am always looking for better, and come rightback to this. So if it works, then imma keep working with it.

This is a watered down version of it's former self. The Flavor is faint and "off", not chocolate. The Color is super pale compared to this same product that I have previously purchased for years in grocery stores. Based on this experience, I fear this extract may have gone the way of many other products. Lower quality ingredients and higher prices. Very sad. I am sorry that I purchased such a large bottle. If you are thinking of trying this, get a small bottle.

No weird chemicals or preservatives, excellent cocoa flavor. Worth the extra money.
