Materials Needed
Fields Landing Soap Factory -

* Creamy Coconut" Soap Base: 12 ounces.
* Cinnamon Stick & Chocolate
* Fragrance Oils: 15 drops Cinnamon Stick and 15 drops Chocolate.
* Black Liquid Colorants: 4 drops black.
* Standard Bar Soap Shapes Mold # 71120.
* 1 Teaspoon cocoa powder.
* 1 Tablespoon finely ground almonds.
* Two - 2 Cup Pyrex measuring cups.
* Metal spoon
* Microwave (or follow manufactures directions for melting in a double boiler)

Directions
1. Slice soap into thin 1/8" strips for quick, easy melting.
2. Divide the soap into two 6-ounce portions. Place 6 ounces each into your measuring cups and microwave together 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. In one measuring cup, add the ground almonds and cinnamon oil.
4. In the other measuring cup, add the cocoa powder, chocolate oil and black coloring.
5. 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.
6. Hold a measuring cup in each hand and pour the soaps into the large rectangular shaped mold at the same time to create the marbled effect. 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.
