I nearly cried when I first chopped up my soap

But now they remind me of chocolate chunk ice cream :)

Does that mean I need to make a chocolate soap too? I don't have any cocoa or Chocolate FO and can't afford the FO until next month. *starts to fret* ;-)

Do you have cocoa butter? Or cocoa powder? How about unsweetened chocolate?

You can make a perfectly nice chocolate soap with cocoa butter, powder and/or chocolate. The scent is much weaker than using FOs but with much better staying power. The very first soap I made is actually a milk chocolate soap. I kept one bar just because it is my first soap. It is over a year old and still has a very faint chocolate scent.

(Cannot believe how clean and uncluttered my kitchen counter was) ... :twisted:

I can pick up some cocoa powder when I go shopping, but all I have for chocolate currently is M&Ms :)
 
Thanks every one! I think I'll end up doing this again but I'll cut the chunks smaller :)
And badger. I just used cocoa butter and cocoa powder. I rarely ever scent my soaps
