Enhancing a Brew Kit

[schooldude]

hello all, all this talk of cherry chocolate stouts has peaked my interest. Now that all my stuff has came in i wanted to make sure my plan for Saturday doesn't have any missteps. First I start with my NB chocolate milk stout kit.
Done by instructions until 5 minutes before done adding 8 ounces of Hershey's cocoa. (8 ounces came from another post saying if using 1 pound of lactose add half that size of cocoa). 3 days into ferminting add my can of Vintners Harvest Cherry Puree. two weeks after add 8 ounces of the nibs. now leave for 3 more weeks. at bottling time I plan to add3 ounces of vanilla extract. I also have 4 ounces of brewers best chocolate extract and cherry extract I can add to the bottling bucket if after a taste i feel some flavor needs a little enhancing.
Am i on the correct path of made a major mistake somewhere.

Thanks to all

It often takes weeks of conditioning for all the flavors of a brew to develop and meld. Tasting at bottling time, and making additions, may not give you the results you anticipate.
