Bakto Flavors - Natural Flavors & Extracts - PICK YOUR OWN FLAVORS - Box of 5 (1 OZ Bottles)

Gift with an ice cream maker. They couldn't wait to try them. Could not some ice creams and the all natural extract open more possibilities.

I wanted these flavors to add to my coffee. Many of the flavored coffee creamers are full of sugar and too many calories. I thought using these flavors would give me the taste I want without the extra calories. I ordered five flavors. 1. Irish Cream - I love this one the most. I plan to order more. It is exactly the flavor I was hoping for in coffee. The Irish cream is a dark thin liquid, not a clear solution. 2. Butter Pecan - This one is also delicious in coffee. I will order more of the butter pecan. This one is a thick viscous solution. Not a thin liquid. 3. Caramel - This one is O.K. I find I need to add a little more cream to offset a slight bitterness. This is thin, light brown liquid. 4. Butterscotch - This one is tasty but I find I need more of this butterscotch flavor than the others to taste the flavor. This one is a thick viscous solution. Not a thin liquid. 5. Hazelnut -This was the WORST flavor of all. It does not taste like hazelnut to me. It was so bad I poured it down the drain. It has a weird taste that overwhelms the coffee. Perhaps it taste better in other applications like baking or candy but that is not what I wanted the flavor for. I plan to try some other flavors in the fruity categories for use in smoothies or teas to see if I like any of those and will write a review soon.

The Irish Cream is my absolute favorite! I have enjoyed all flavors I’ve tried so far except for the hazelnut.. I typically love hazelnut but this extract does not taste right which is why I gave 4 stars; I ended up just throwing it out.

I love these extracts. I use them for flavoring my sparking water. Blueberry and a dash of raspberry makes a nice combo flavor. Blueberry even by itself is really good as well. Doesn’t take much so it hopefully will last me a little while. I’ve been looking for water flavoring without dye or sweeteners and have been disappointed by a few. These are the best I’ve tried so far.

I make herbal tinctures and these are just what I use at a much better price.

Having used some concentrated flavors in the past, I was hoping these would be a little bit more potent. I use some flavored stevia syrups to flavor my homemade yogurt to great effect, but in the name of greater flavor variability, I decided to try some of these with flavorless stevia liquid instead. The results have not been great. For one thing, most of these are extracted into an alcohol base, which means they'll kill the probiotics in high enough volume. I put a full tbsp of butterscotch into about two cups of yogurt this morning and could not taste but perhaps the tiniest hint of butterscotch. And even that small hint might have been in my head. For soda, I find about a tsp to a quart does the trick, which means these little 1 oz bottles will be gone in no time. Not sure if I'll buy them again. The flavor is pretty decent in soda, but the price is awfully high when you have to use so much to get results. There are concentrated flavor products out there that take only a few drops to provide potent flavor to a lot of food/liquid. These should be sold in larger sizes for better deals at their current potency.

We make our own yogurt and had fun experimenting with the options. Made a piña colada flavor with the coconut and pineapple extracts. If I had a guava extract, I could have made a Hawwai’ian POG flavor!

Don't expect these to actually give flavor to your baked items. I purchased butterscotch, butter pecan, raspberry, mango and lavender. I made sugar cookies and doubled the extract being added to ensure a vibrant flavor. Raspberry is very subtle Mango and butter pecan has no flavor at all. Lavender is very subtle. Butterscotch no flavor, used in rice krispies. Very disappointing. I spend an entire weekend baking 5 different types of cookies, 5 dozen of reach that I give away to 24 people. While the cookies still taste ok, they are very bland and don't have the vibrant flavor varieties I thought I paid for. Don't waste your money on this product at all.

Had a great experience with the seller. They followed order instructions and were super quick. Product is also great quality.
