Accidentally bought pear candy instead of pear.. any suggestions?

submitted about 10 years ago by mtx0

As title says, I was going to make some snake oil clone, but I accidentally bought the "pear candy" instead.. would this still taste good in its place? The recipe was as follows:

Bavarian Cream (TFA) 3%

Coconut Extra (TFA) 1.5%

Pear (TFA) 9%

I have Pear Candy (TFA)

Not sure on the Pear Candy TBH, but I've done this clone. A word of advice, bump your Bavarian up to 4 or 5 percent, the coconut down to about 1 percent, and the pear down to 6 or 7 percent. Coconut extra and Pear are super strong flavors.

Sweet, I'm gonna try this! Snake oil is still one of my absolute favorites. I'm sad they weren't at ECC.

Have you tried it before using pear, the non candy version? If so, how is it in comparison?

I agree with you. Coconut (not extra) would be much better

I've never used normal coconut, do you like it all around better than (extra)? I have Coconut extra and it's way too strong for me even at 1%

I think Coconut (Extra) is terrible and is extremely difficult to work with. I have no idea why it's so popular. Coconut regular is more creamy and easier to work with. Capella Coconut is really good albeit a bit weak, although it's my favorite -- it doesn't overpower. FLV Coconut is also another winner. It's very creamy and is really rich. It's pretty much the coconut you'd want if you wanted to do a single flavor coconut mix.

Make a 5ml sample and try it out

Op may even like it better, I find pear to be an odd flavor. I love real ones though.

FA Pear and INW Pear are both pretty interest/good in their own right imo.

I've mainly used tfa and don't really enjoy it. I have FA, I guess I need to work with it a little and see how I like it.

FWIW I made that snake oil clone and I was not a fan.

Pear candy is just a sweeter pear. I like it cause I like to avoid adding sweeteners.

I don't think I have any Pear flavorings, I have some candy apple and green apple, could I sub those in for the Pear with good results I wonder? I may just try it!

I would do the green apple. That's actually what I did for the snake bite clone. It's pretty good too :)
