Cooking/baking/candy making with your flavors?

[Joe13]

I've got some vanilla butternut that smells good enough to eat. One of these days, I'm gonna whip up some fudge or taffy.

I suppose one could even make a simple syrup (sugar and water), and add a little flavor to make a syrup for coffee.

Wondering if anyone has used or thought about using their DIY flavorings for food.

All the time in fact try mixing it in cool whip. Just this weekend added a nice hangsen chocolate cream flavoring to my morning 16oz coffee.

I have used the loran flavors for decades making hard candy, which many vapers use for flavoring. I have a shoe box full of baking flavors. I don't think I would use vaping flavors for cooking unless they were made for baking. But there are a lot of baking flavors out there that can be used for vaping.

Ditto for the food flavoring - I was using these flavorings when baking long before I was vaping. And the chocolate cream in the cool whip sounds DIVINE!!!

Why not? I mean, nobody's gonna eat RY4 fudge, but if you bought a nice blueberry flavor "made for vaping", why wouldn't you use it in baking or candy? Is it a psychological thing?

Vaping flavors are used in food all the time. Maybe not the tobaccos but all others are.

Just made a loaf of banana nut bread this weekend added TFA Ripe Banana to the recipe and the family said it was the best loaf yet.

I'm not sure I need PG/VG and nic in my baking. But I have no concern to use the baking flavors I use for DIY juices for baking. I'm a DIY person, so why use the final vape mix for flavor when I have the base flavors.

If I was not a DIY type, I sure would not be using $10 for 15ml to flavor my baking when I can but a dram for $2, also, since I would want to share my results, I don't think I would want people that are not addicted to nic having my baked goods with nic??

Most of my flavors may have a PG base, but no nicotine. You get PG/VG in your mouth when you vape (and swallow it)... so what's the difference? I'd be more concerned about getting hit by lightning.

Like Danny, I use some of mine in a cup of coffee now and then. Doesn't take much and is WAY cheaper than buying coffee additives (like Coffee Mate).
