Vesna Dolic's Choko-Nut Soap Recipe

Choko-Nut Soap by Vesna Dolic

Well, I am openly admitting it- I am crazy for chocolate. This soap is directly related to the fact that I am at the moment on the weight conscious diet and depriving myself of all the things that I looove to eat. Chocolate is the one that I am missing the most. If I can not have it inside I will have it outside.

You judge-is it good enough to eat?
Vesna Dolic
