Hi everyone! Looking forward to learning and sharing here in the forum.

I make bath bombs and have the idea that I want to make some small cocoa butter hearts in a silicone mold to put at the top of my bombs. I want them to be red (Valentine's Day and all) and was wondering if anyone has coloured cocoa butter? I tried a red stained glass liquid colour but it didn't blend well in the oil. I have lakes but they work best in powdered ingredients. Maybe I can mix a bit of cornstarch with the cocoa butter? I am going to experiment but wondered if anyone has tried it.

Thanks!

Tip - if you try this - FREEZE THE HEARTS! The cocoa butter is solid but soft. I think the shape would have held molding better if it was frozen. Sadly, I forgot the cornstarch in this batch and they crumbled on me! :(
