T traca Well-known member Nov 11, 2008 #4 I could be wrong but my guess is there's a big difference between oil and extract. Extracts typically are alcohol-based and I think that would impact the outcome of the finished product. Since so much of baking and candy making is science-based, I would use the oil. King Arthur has a peppermint oil and I've attached a link. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/items/Peppermint_Oil_1_oz
