DIY chocolate soap is such an easy craft, even I can do it.
And the chocolate soap looks so good someone might even take a bite out of it! Actually, my husband actually DID take a bite out of the chocolate soap…LOL. He thought I made some sort of chocolate candy, but, nope, it was soap and he found out the hard way…by taking a good bite out of it!
* Please pardon the awful pictures. I took these sooooo long ago when I had my first blog back in 2010!
I was thinking – So many women love chocolate right? Well why not make something that is useful and smells good?
Now, I am not a crafter. Not at all. I try, but usually my “creations” turn out pretty awful looking! HA HA! However, making soap, and Chocolate Soap at that, was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be!
How to Make Chocolate Soap
Below these instructions, you will find instructions you can print out easily!
Ingredients
16 Ounces unscented soap base (I used unscented shea butter soap base)
6 ounces dark chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons chocolate extract
Seeds of one Vanilla Bean
Instructions
- Melt the soap according to package instructions. (Note: Chocolate needs to be melted at the same time.)
- After it the soap is melted, stir in all remaining ingredients.

VOILA! You are done! If not in a mold, break the soap into pieces or cut with a cookie cutter!

I wonder if chocolate has anti aging properties?
HAHA! I don’t know – if so BRING IT ON!
Sounds awesome, but doesn’t the chocolate stain your hands?
Well, when I first washed my hands with it, the soap ran brown and I was thinking “OMG I have dirty hands!” but then realized it was the color of the soap. No, it did not stain my hands, but I supposed if you used it as a body soap and it was left on your skin for any lenghth of time, it just might stain your hands!
