A chocolate bar

[kisha]

(Hi there. First post here!) I've been making soaps sporadically now for about a year. I've tried a hot process Castile bar, a salt bar, a shampoo bar (Lindy's recipe from this site, LOVE IT!), and now my first soap with a fragrance oil. I used Rich Dark Chocolate and I live the way it's gone from a pretty butter yellow to a deep chocolate color and its getting darker by the day!

Pretty bars. I love rich dark chocolate, I use it in lotion.

Which supplier did you buy your rich dark chocolate FO from? Soap looks great BTW

Thanks! I had a sample from Brambleberry. I'm not sure how much it was but I used the 6x6 silicone mold (also from Brambleberry) and I had two bottles that were slightly less than half filled. I'm assuming the slightly swirly look is because I stirred the fragrance oil in by hand after a medium trace. I can smell the soap from several feet away.

I couldn't wait. They are the color of dark chocolate now so I cut a bar into quarters for test pieces. The inside is still butter yellow. It lathers beautifully, LOADS of lather! Wonder what they'll be like a couple of months from now.

They'll be even more awesome, that's what! My son LOVES that FO. Smells like a dark chocolate cake. Well done.
