Chef’s Secret

Use sparingly as flavorings are highly concentrated; always test a small amount in your recipe before adding the full quantity.

Substitutions

Best Match

Caramel Flavoring

Provides a similar sweet, cooked-sugar flavor profile, very close in application.

Toffee Flavoring

1:1

Offers a nutty, caramelized sweetness, good for a slightly different nuance.

Vanilla Extract

1:1

Adds a general sweetness and aromatic warmth, but lacks the specific butter notes.

Provides a natural sweet, complex flavor, good for baking or sauces.
