Not as flavorful as expected, but still good (I have purchased the banana compound and love it!). I have used the dark chocolate compound only once, so I will use it in some other projects to rule out that it wasn't just what it was added to. I also used a small amount, I may need to add a bit more compound. I really like the Amoretti compounds and extracts, I have tried the banana compound and extract, the dark chocolate compound, and the toasted coconut extract, the quality and taste of these products are so much better then anything you would buy in the store and you only need small amounts.I really like that a lot of their products are alcohol free as I think the flavor is more apparent and true, rather then the alcohol taste you get with store bought extracts.
