Best alternative for cocoa butter?

[MelissaG]

At $150 for five pounds, I need an alternative for cocoa butter in drizzle and for my bath bombs/lip balms. I want to save what I have left for my oatmeal, milk and honey soap.

Do you have any alternate suggestions? I was reading palm kernel flakes but I also saw they aren't soluble in water.

Yikes!
Good to be in Canada for once? $202 for 6kg (wafers) on Amazon.ca.

Maybe I need to take a vacation up there

Yeah my sister lives in Alberta. She was going to come visit in May and I was really looking forward to it. Then the election happened and the price exploded two days after for plane tickets and now she's canceled. I'd love to have bought some things and just had them delivered to her to bring them to me. She and my cousin were going to come for my birthday and we were going to have lunch on the Creole Queen or the Natchez river boats. There's stuff I can only get in Canada that I can't get here.
