OH my, those look absolutely yummy.

by chocolate powder do you mean- nestle chocolat milk mix? and do you mix it with oils or just put the powder in with bs and citric acid to acheive it evenly dispersed like you do.

Here's the recipe I used:

2/3 cup milk powder, ground (will grind down to ½ cup)
½ cup powdered citric acid
1 heaping cup baking soda
1 tbsp powdered cocoa powder
1 tsp sweet almond oil

Mix all ingredients well by hand, spritz lightly with witch hazel and pack into molds. ***

Now my experience was that I was able to unmold right away and then wrap tightly in Plastic wrape right away. I've used them and love them!

HTH
