Yesterday, we created two bath and body gifts for Mom. However, let’s not stop there.
While we know that every Mom loves flowers, we also know that Moms enjoy candy. Today we’ll create candy soaps to add to Mom’s bath and body gift set.
Get ready to be very creative. The sky is the limit and you know Mom is worth it. 
Chocolate and Almond Candy Soaps
You will need:
12 ounces of Creamy Coconut Soap Base
16 drops Chocolate fragrance oil
4 drops black liquid colorant
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon finely ground almonds
4 cup Pyrex measuring cup
Metal spoon
Microwave (or double boiler)
fancy candy shaped molds*
gold foil candy cups*
empty candy box*
1. Slice soap into thin 1/8 inch strips for quick, easy melting.
2. Place soap into your measuring cups and microwave for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute on high. The melting time will vary depending on the amount of soap. Remove and stir lightly. Continue to microwave at 15-second intervals until completely melted.
3. Add the cocoa powder, chocolate oil and black coloring.
4. Mix the soap as it cools until it becomes jelly-like. This helps to distribute the ground almonds evenly throughout the soap, rather than sinking to the bottom of the mold.
5. Pour the soap into the fancy candy shaped molds. Do not move the molds until the soap is set. Let the soap cool and harden completely before removing from the mold. The soap will pop out easily when completely set. For a fast set, allow the soap to cool for 1 minute then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until cooled.
6. Once your candy soaps are set, package in gold foil candy cups and place inside empty candy box.

Lavish Lollipop Soaps
You will need:
Creamsicle Melt and Pour Soap Recipe (print the recipe to use later)
Ingredients for Creamsicle Melt and Pour Soap Recipe
Sucker mold*
Sucker sticks*
Cellophane sucker bags*
Twist ties or ribbon*
Follow the Creamsicle Melt and Pour Soap Recipe until you are ready to mold the soaps.
Spoon or pour the melted soap into dry molds. If using a sucker mold, place sucker stick in place before pouring in the soap. Tap the mold gently to remove any entrapped air bubbles. Scrape excess soap away with a scraper. Do not move the molds until the soap is set. Let the soap cool and harden completely before removing from the mold. The soap will pop out easily when completely set. For a fast set, allow the soap to cool for 1 minute then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until cooled. To release the soap from the mold, invert the mold and flex or tap the back of the mold.
