Equipment
- Silicone mold
- Storage Jars
Ingredients
- 90 grams | 45% Cocoa Butter
- 84 grams | 42% Mango Butter
- 20 grams | 10% Apricot Kernel Oil
- 4 grams | 2% Fragrance Oil
- 2 grams | 1% Vitamin E Oil

Instructions
- Set up a double boiler (bowl over simmering water) and gently melt the cocoa butter (90g) and mango butter (84g) until fully liquid—keep heat low to preserve nutrients.
- Remove from heat, be sure to wipe the water off the bottom of your container. Then stir in apricot kernel oil (20g), vitamin E oil (2g), fragrance oil (4g), and mica powder until evenly mixed and colors are vibrant.
- Use the scraper to fill your silicone mold holes—it's quick and gives perfect
- Cool at room temperature or refrigerate to set faster (I found that this took a while to cool, so I placed my second bath on the porch to solidify more quickly).
- Pop out the dots and store in an airtight tin or jar.
