Magical Soapers Spells The first two recipes came about when Anne Watson, my friend, mentor and teacher, challenged me to craft a soap recipe after I accidently ordered a ton of shea oil instead of the shea butter I really wanted. She's also responsible for the chocolate soap recipe. That one came about while I was helping her with the research for her wonderful Milk Soap book. Somehow it ended up in the book with a lot of other wonderful recipes you really must try.

Dark Chocolate Variation: Add 5 oz (142 g) chocolate milk and 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix the cocoa powder with a little of the shea oil, and mix this into the rest of the fat. White Chocolate Variation: Use an additional 5 oz (142 g) whole milk and 1 oz (28 g) white chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate chips with the rest of the solid fat. Since this is milk soap you need to use what is called Cold Technique in Anne's book. After pour the soap goes into the freezer for at least 1/2 hour. Then it needs to be in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Milk White SoapFrom Milk Soapmaking by Anne Watson.
