Cooler days and nights mean I can indulge in my favourite winter drink - Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows!   This fragrance oil is very well behaved - perhaps a little too well behaved!  

Each soap bar is decorated with handmade Soap Dough Marshmallows and covered with Chocolate Melt & Pour Drizzle 
Thank you for watching

*** My recipe ***

My recipe was inspired by Royalty Soaps but has been tweaked to include my favourite ingredient, Shea Butter.   

If you wish to see more about my recipe, check out this video of me preparing the oils and lye solution for soaping.  https://youtu.be/IGEJo3QHvSI

30% Coconut Oil
20% Palm Oil
3% Shea Butter
42% Olive Oil
5% Castor Oil

Superfat – 5% 

Lye and Water – I work at 33% Water but you can choose the amount that works best for you. The Lye amount can be calculated using your favourite soap calculator.  I prefer to use
