Whipped Chocolate Drizzled with Mint..... Lotion

Yes you read that right and let me just say, you will be fighting back the urge to lick the beaters!

This by far is my favorite lotion!  Not only is the smell to DIE for but it also works great on really dry skin. 

My skin really suffers from normal mom duties, (i.e. washing dishes, cleaning, diaper changes, and washing hands a million times).  But the winter they use to hurt really bad from being so dry but NOT now.  So now I will share my new found love!

Ingredients- (Where to find below)
3 oz Shea Butter
3 oz Cocoa Butter (this butter adds the chocolate scent)
3 oz Coconut Oil
3 oz Kokum Butter (Great healing butter for dry, tired skin) Optional*
Peppermint Essential Oil

*Note - if you decide not to use the Kokum Butter use 6 oz of Shea Butter instead of 3 oz.

Items Needed-
Double boiler or metal mixing bowl and pot
Mixer
Jars to store lotion in
Digital scale
Wooden spoon

Add water to bottom pan of double boiler.  Weigh all butters and oils and then add to double boiler (top pan).  Do not let water get into top pan.

 Melt butters and oil on medium heat until completely melted, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat, cool to room temperature.  Then place in fridge for 2-3 hours until mixture has solidified.

Whip using mixer for 10-20 minutes making sure to scrape down sides as you mix.

Once mixture is fully whipped, add four drops of peppermint essential oil.  Mix one more time to completely incorporate essential oil.

Scoop into desired jar and enjoy!!
