My soap cracked when i was trying to cut it...

[amiphant]

I pour most of my soap to a chip container (pringles like) and some leftover to a silicone mold.

The silicone mold soap worked out fine and was in lighter colour than the pringles one. When i was trying to cut the pringles one....the soap was too brittle and it cracked....I used the same chip container b4 and it was ok...

If the silicone mold one worked, i assume there's nothing wrong with the recipe...could it be because of overheat or something?

Most importantly....what am i supposed to do to save my batch?? :cry:

Sounds like it's possible the pringles one overheated this time- this is due to the cylindrical shape holding more heat than the silicone mould where more heat was likely to have escaped. You could use the soap as is, rebatch, or add the pieces to a future batch.
