Tub Melt Turmoil

[yarnmartini]

Last night I tried making some bathtub melts for the first time using a recipe of 1/4 cup cocoa butter and 2 TB sweet almond oil. I tripled the recipe and melted everything together but it stayed in liquid form even after 3+ hours. I added more cocoa butter and more and more, still liquid. I poured everything into a container thinking I could use it for something else, and this morning when I woke up it was still all liquid.

Today when I got home from work, it is solid as a rock in the container.

What happened? Can I salvage it? I have my first craft show in 12+ years in December and was planning on making lots of these. :?

i'd try to gently remelt it and then pour it into molds or whatever you are going to use. i put my mold on a cookie sheet so i can keep it level and once it is poured i put it in the fridge to get solid then take it out and keep it somewhere out of reach for it to get hard.

3 hours isn't sufficient - cocoa butter can take a couple of days to harden up
