WHIPPED CHOCOLATE BODY BUTTER

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cocoa butter

• 1/2 cup shea butter

• 1/2 cup coconut oil

• 1/2 cup sweet almond oil

• 1/4 cup beeswax

• 2 teaspoons Vitamin E oil

• 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder

• 3 half-pint wide mouth short mason jars

• Fabric

• Ribbon

• Labels

• Glass Jars

• Combine cocoa and shea butters, oils (except Vitamin E oil), and beeswax in a small pan or double boiler. Slowly melt, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat until the mixture has liquified. Remove from heat and pour liquid into a mixing bowl that is big enough so that you can whip the lotion in the bowl later. Mix in cocoa powder and Vitamin E oil. *Either set the liquid on the counter to cool and partially solidify or stick the bowl in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. I like the later option...just don't leave it for too long or it will get toosolid. *Whip the partially solidified body butter with a hand mixer for several minutes, or until it looks like chocolate buttercream frosting *.Store covered for about 6 months. Can be stored in the refrigerator. It will harden when in the fridge, but will quickly soften when left out or when rubbed together in your hands. Notes; You can add essential oils at the end (with the cocoa powder and Vitamin E oil or right before you whip it). The two oils that I think would fit nicely with it are peppermint (mint chocolate!) or sweet orange (orange chocolate!). I would recommend about 10 drops (add more or less according to your scent preference).

• Enjoy!
