Interesting starting points for sure. My initial reaction is they are all high flavor percentages, especially with the flavors used.

You could always half or cut it to 2/3. :)

I think that is an interesting point. Some flavors are certainly higher than I'm used to seeing. For instance, I've personally never used Coconut Extra at more than, say 5% just because it's not really meant to be a top note in your mix - it doesn't have that "pop" that some flavors have, especially not like tropical fruits. As one user put it, it's "A serviceable but not especially strong coconut". However, it's very good at blending fruits or dairys together, acting as a sort of cream base. It's apparently very good at blending bakery flavors. It's similar to vanilla in that aspect - that it doesn't have a lot of flavor on its own, but really smooths out the palette when paired with things like chocolate, banana, guava, passion-fruit, nutmeg, etc.

I agree 100%. If I'm looking for an actual coconut flavor there is no option other than FLV. My almond joy recipe is :

2% MF dark chocolate

1% MF light chocolate

.5% MF white chocolate

2% FLV coconut

. 5% TFA toasted Almond

1 drop AP per 20ml

I really don't get a proper or authentic chocolate taste from TFA Double Choc. So is the key to use it alongside Milk Chocolate?

Honestly, I think chocolates are really very difficult to pull off, especially if we're talking about a name-brand candy bar that everyone knows. It can be a really complex flavor in general, food-wise. There's really not much to go off here but I'm sure it has to do with pairing the background notes with the major notes, all in all creating the complex chocolate taste that you're used to. If you make it, you'll have to let me know what you think.

Coconut Extra tastes like suntan lotion to me :( Do the other flavors tone it down?

> Toasted Almond - 6%
> English Toffee- 3%

I would puke with that much Coconut Extra...2% typically overpowers everything else I mix it with...I once did it @ 6%, tastes just like melted plastic, amazing.
