It will become messy and appear that it won’t incorporate, but then upon mixing, it will mix in nicely into the chocolate without seizing (I do this all the time for a chocolate ganache I pour over cheesecakes I make and sell here in Connecticut, USA) I’ve attempted to mix in extracts before and had issues as well… The best thing I’ve tried is to include the extract (peppermint, vanilla, rum, etc.) when you first put the chocolate in the pan to melt.

After burning through three Ghiradelli bars (at $4.00 a bar!) I finally got it right, with your advice. Many thanks! Tracy Hey John,

I stirred it constantly. I added 2 teasp of peppermint extract to the chocolate during the melting process. I got frustrated when it was seizing and added 1 T of boiling water!!! Is there any hope for saving this mess? It was an expensive batch and I’d like to save it if possible. How could I do this? If I need to start over, what suggestions do you have for not having this happen again? I do need to add the peppermint liquid because it is for peppermint bark. Should I buy peppermint oil instead of extract? I needt o finish this bark tonight - any suggestions?!!!! I melted 60 oz of ghiradelli white choc chips last night in a double boiler and it set on me.
