Patty Shine's Chocolate Swirl Soap Recipe
Chocolate Swirl Soap by Patty Shine
I chose this batch because I wanted to make a bar with a good amount of cocoa butter, and I am a chocoholic!!
I had to make two batches to make enough; I only have one 3-4 lb mold. These were made the last week in July.
It doesn't have much of a scent, but it looks good enough to eat! It is a nice hard bar, I like it, but beware of the chocolate if using a cloth in the shower!
I would definitely do the swirling part differently but I am still proud of my first try!
Patty Shine, Plymouth MA
