So I'm working on a mothers day gift for my wife. Something different than a box of chocolates. It's chocolate soap. So I guess it's not that much different. She doesn't know that I've even made a soap yet. I've been pretty sneaky about it.
I got the recipe that I want and had some people try it and they gave it a thumbs up. Today I went to make half a batch for her so that if I mess something up I don't have to repurchase everything (good thing I split it in half) I get things to a light trace and split it into three parts one going to be pink (using moroccan red clay) with peppermint EO one without coloring or EO and one part with bakers chocolate. Get everything done and in the mold and the swirls look good on the top for my first time doing a swirl. I then realize that I didn't put in the peppermint. Sigh.... I went ahead and added it because I can't mess the soap up any more at this point. Guess I'll see what the swirls look like now.
