recipe
Makes 4 bars of soap
Ingredients:
- 7.68oz oatmeal melt & pour soap base
- 0.32oz candied chestnuts & spiked wine™ fragrance oil
Supplies:
- oval cavity silicone mold
- glass pitcher
- glass stir stick
- straight edge soap cutter or knife
- digital thermometer
Instructions:
- Cut the oatmeal melt & pour soap base into small pieces and transfer it to the glass pitcher.
- Heat it up in the microwave or on a double boiler until it is completely melted. If you’re using the microwave (which is usually easiest), make sure to only heat in 30 second intervals to avoid burning the wax.
- Add in 0.32oz of candied chestnuts & spiked wine™ fragrance oil mix it with the glass stick for about 30 seconds.
- Pour your soap evenly into your soap mold.
- Let your soap cure! We recommend letting this one cure for at least 12 hours before use.
