Chocolate Mint Whipped Body Butter

A decadent treat for the skin! A little goes a long way!

Ingredients

• 1 C cocoa butter
• ½ C coconut oil
• ½ C sweet almond oil
• 4 t peppermint extract , or 20-40 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions

1. In a double boiler, combine cocoa butter and coconut oil and heat until liquefied. Be careful not to burn it, or heat it too quickly.
2. Once the cocoa butter and coconut oil have liquefied, remove from heat. Whisk in almond oil. Place bow in freezer for about 20 minutes. You want the butter to harden up, but not harden completely. It will seem like a slushy butter mess.
3. Whip the butter with a hand-held mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth and buttery, and will hold a peak. Add mint extract or essential oil, and whip a little more.
