I am making a dark brown, chocolate scented soap. I added dark brown mica to it, but it still didn't end up as dark or shiny as I wanted. I want it to look like dark chocolate. Any suggestions?
 
When I make my Double Chocolate soap, I add a square of unsweetened dark baking chocolate to the entire batch (1000 grams of oil) and to half of it, I add about 1 tsp. unsweetened Dutch process cocoa. The part with just the baking chocolate looks like milk chocolate and the part with the added cocoa looks like dark chocolate. And then, just to drive people crazy, I scent it with Chocolate Fudge and Peppermint.
