Christmas soap & Sugar Scrubs

[Genny]

Here's a few things I worked on last week


Peppermint Hot Cocoa soap still in the mold. It's colored with cocoa & I sprinkled a little hot cocoa on top.



Peppermint Hot Cocoa sliced ~ Those little white blobs in the middle of the soap were due to me trying to get in a little bit of white swirl even though I knew the white was too thick.

Thanks Donna

There's a video on Youtube that shows a farely simple way to make them [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t1ZjV4C6Jw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t1ZjV4C6Jw[/ame]
Except I use fresh CP (Less than 24 hours old) to make them. My soap recipe is usually still quite soft at 24 hours, so I just chop up the soap, add my oil and then heat until melted. Then I add my sugar & fo.
I use a mini ice cream scoop for the shape. I just wait until my mix is cooled a little, scoop out a bit and use my hand to squish it into the scoop. After I've got them all scooped out, I roll them in a little bit of sugar.

They all look fantastic...how does the choco-peppermint smell? I have some chocolate drizzle FO and was thinking Christmas & adding some peppermint but wasn't sure.

It smells just like york peppermint patties Just go light with the peppermint since it tends to overpower the chocolate easily.
