Melt and pour soap is an easy way to make really pretty handmade gifts. I used a silicon loaf pan and shea butter glycerin melt and pour base. I divided the block of base into two glass measuring cups. To one I added red dye and the other I left white. I melted both and added peppermint scent. Then I poured alternating layers(allowing the layers to set up until firm in between). I reheated the soap in the cups when needed. Once the loaf pan was almost full, I crumbled crushed candy canes down the center of the loaf while the last layer was still wet.
This is what it looked like once I removed it from the pan.
This looks good enough to eat!
The soap set up about 24 hours and then was put into bags that I sealed closed. I got 9 bars out of my loaf pan but I was really generous when I was slicing. These smell soooo good. I think I will set one aside for me! Diana
