I used the Chocolate Soap recipe from Majestic Mountain Sage. I melted the fats on the stove in a regular cooking pot, since they were ordinary cooking ingredients.
Next, I added the cocoa & chocolate.
I added the lye to the water next. I used two cut-out plastic pop bottles & stabilized them in cut out milk cartons. The plastic did, in fact, warp from the heat & the cartons kept them from spilling over & creating a toxic mess.
I poured the hot oils & hot lye mixture into the mixing tub (used only for craft purposes) and blended with an immersion blender to trace.
I poured the mixture into more half-cut milk cartons to solidify. A few days later, I peeled them away, cut the soap into bars, and wrapped them in wax paper to cure. In a few more weeks (after the bars cure) I'll smell like candy as I get clean!
