guppygirl Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Got all the volunteers I can handle now - Thanks for all the responses!Well, not getting much coffee smell coming through - dernit! Honestly I think I can smell the cocoa powder (I did mention that I went a little over board right?!) It's got a great creamy lather and my hands feel wonderful (could be that I've been washing my hands with soap from the swap all day though)... After much reading, I finally threw together a recipe for my coffee butter.RBO 40%Coconut 20%Coffee Butter 20%Cocoa Butter 10%Shea Butter 5%Castor Oil 5%added 1T kaolin to 3lb batch at light traceswirled with cocoa powder... got a little carried away with the swirl - I wasn't looking for it to be this dark, but I still like it Just unmolded it. Will post new pics after I cut later.Here they are: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guppygirl Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I bet I could just set a bar of that on the desk in the morning and totally by-pass drinking coffee.Um, if you're a coffee fanatic like me, nope, these won't let you by-pass coffee. In fact they kind of have a bitter undertone now that they're cut, but I'm sure they'll change over the next few weeks. I'll keep ya posted.You are nothing but a tease! LOL Yup, that's me!

Sara Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Those look soooooo yummy. I guess just *knowing* they have something with the word "coffee" and "butter" make it sound all the more delectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
