Chocolate Manicures - Help with recipe??!!

[KellyT]

Hi Geeks

I am wanting to do chocolate manicures and I have looked at many threads on here about them but I need to ask a daft question!!
One of the recipes says to add chocolate extract, well I went to the supermarket and they don't have choc extract only choc flavouring, is this the same or will it not have the same effect??

Sorry about the daft question, just want to get it right!!

Thankyou

i had the same problem!
i figured out that if you add vanilla extract to baking recipes to bring out the flavor, why not for this!
just add the amount of vanilla that calls for chocolate, it smells great!
just remember, the customer will never know what if was supposed to smell like.
hope this helps!

Yeah I've seen this, sounds lovely and I am planning on using this awell.
It's the homemade scrub thats annoying me as I don't know or see any difference between extract and flavouring/essense!!

Thank you for helping
