Mint Chocolate Whipped Body Butter

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cocoa butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
20 – 40 drops peppermint essential oil (depending on how strong you like it)

Directions:

1. Add coconut oil and cocoa butter to your mixing bowl.

2. You actually want the cocoa butter in a solid state for it to whip up nicely so I used a butter knife to get my cocoa butter into the mixing bowl.

3. Sprinkle 20-40 drops of Peppermint Essential oil into the mixing bowl

4. Mix it up. This works best if you have a stand mixer however a hand mixer will work as well, just a little more work. Mix on high for 1-2 minutes and then stop to scrape the sides of the bowl. Continue mixing in 1-2 minutes intervals until you have mixed for about 8-10 minutes and it’s nice and whipped.

5. If you like a firmer texture you can add 1-2 teaspoons of beeswax.

This body butter smells delicious and has a nice cooling texture. I use it everyday and it also works wonderful to help sore muscles due to the cooling effect from the peppermint oil. Use it to pamper yourself or it also makes a nice gift idea.
