SoapInTheCity Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Well I don't vere off from CP soap very often, but with Mother's Day coming up, I wanted to make a little more than soap for my mom and mother in law. I have been wanting to make Bunny's Bath Melt's for months.I gathered all the information of tips others had mentioned and just wished that there was a step by step picture guide to it, like the CP Soap has!So, I did my best to make one for you!A blend of Peaks Vanilla Hazelnut and Vanilla CakeI bathed right afterwards, I could not wait, and it was fabulous! Measured the Cocoa (&/or Shea) I made mine with 7 oz Cocoa & 1 oz SheaMeasured the Baking Soda & CornstarchMixed all the lumps Out!(Measure citric acid in seperate Container)Have ready to add soon........Add Baking Soda, Cornstarch & FO to melted but not hot, OILS. Add Citric Acid, and mix it quickly for about 20 secondsI had mixed it completely at this pointPut in muffin cups size of your choice Put in the freezer approx 15-20 minutes (These were in 20 min's when the pic taken)Pop out of muffin cups or leave in.......Your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Those look great. I kinda want to eat them. They look like white chocolate Reeses peanutbutter cups!!!!!!! MMMMMMMMM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemakingkid Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Okay, I am hoping you will give up the size of those cute little muffin cups you used and where you got them from. And do you use only 1 per bath experience. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Per previous post sregarding Bunny's melts, you should only use ONE of these melts and the size she made them in above are the perfect size or you will end up with a slippery mess. When these melts are made and used in the above manner they are awesome, very moisturizing but not super greasy.Thanks again Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemakingkid Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Gosh Elle,Thanks for your response. I picked this particular thread up thinking it was post #1 and an original topic. But I guess I will go digging to find out the exact size of her muffin cups and the original recipe. I can tell they aren't as large as regular muffin cups and not as small as the mini candy cups in the tutorial she was so helpful to provide. I will search for the original recipe Bunny posted.Thanks again for your help.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Look in the recipe section, there are a lot is a lot of info about them, they are very popular. Get the small muffin liners and use the mini-muffin tins.I know in a post a while back someone made a bigger version of these melts and had a very greasy bathtub LOLI make mine in heart shapes and wrap in decorative foil, I also just started fragrancing mineGood luck, you will love these and they are easy to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernscents Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 This may sound stupid, but how do u melt the ingredients. I assume from the glass bowl you use the double boiler method. I would like to try these someday, but am not sure about the melting part..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 I actually just melted the butters really low til they melted. Then added the baking soda and Cornstarch when the butters were still warm (not hot). Then after it was mixed well I added the citric acid and mixed really fast for about 20 seconds with a metal whisk. Then put it in that clear container and poured them. I actually had extra for I just poured it on the cookie sheet and broke it into peices and use them for myself! Why not, I don't care what they look like!*And livelovebath -Jenny......I still want yours you silly! These were made for mother's day! I want to try yours still! Oh ya Baby! Caramel...........

Bunny Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 1/2 - 1 oz melts are fine.. I prefer 3/4 oz melts as too much isn't a good thing!
