Question by Zahra S: Can You Substitute Extract instead of Oil-based flavoring for Chocolate Making?
I’m trying to make chocolate truffles with creme inside you know like, raspberry, strawberry…etc. So I can’t find oil-based flavoring anywhere but I can find extract. So can I use Extract?

You can, they just won’t taste as good. Extracts have a higher alcohol content (and not the good kind of alcohol) and taste less like natural flavor.

Oil-based flavorings are more intense than extracts. They can often be found at craft or candy supply stores.
