Does anyone have any knowledge of a good almond oil?  Can I get away with a small amount of water-based flavoring in a gianduja?

 

No,  and I don't think so.  But!  Maybe you could try those bitter almond kernels or bitter apricot seeds that are supposedly healthy and cancer-fighting but may contain arsenic and kill you if eaten in excess (I don't recall if we debated their merits on this forum before).  But a few should be fine, especially if heated to neutralize the poison ... 😉  I believe they are the same bitter almonds used to flavor almond extract.
