white and dark chocolate cocoa butter soap, which was supposed to be swirled but obviously is not even a little. but it does smell good. i am anxious to try some suggestions given to me and greatly appreciate them!

these definitely look delish!!! :D

maybe you could try swirling at a THIN TRACE. if it gets too thick it wont swirl well. perhaps increase you water-adding a few oz to a larger batch will not hurt anything. may take a little while longer to cure. are you using a water discount? maybe try 2.5 parts water to 1 part lye.

or when all else fails, pour some dark around in your mold, then pour some light on top of it, repeat, repeat, then run a chopstick back and forth and around. voila!

If you were doing an in the pot swirl, try holding the poured batch high so it sinks all the way to the bottom.

Personally, I think they look really good! :)
 
i used cocoa powder, 1 tsp ppo but i used the 'dark' cocoa that hersey's has lately come out with, or at least i just noticed it recently. of course the cocoa butter smells of chocolate, to me just by itself. white chocolate, i guess but very nice.
