Creepy Halloween Soaps

Ingredients

Clear Glycerine soap base
"Rounds and Ovals" soap mold
Several drops of essential oil for fragrance
(try a mixture of Lavender and Peppermint)
Small plastic spiders, bats, etc.

Directions

Place plastic trinkets in bowl of soap mold with right-side facing down.*

In a small microwave-safe bowl, place about 20 cubes of soap base. Melt soap in microwave on HIGH power for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. Soap should be heated until most but not all of it is melted. The remaining chunks should be gently stirred until they are completely melted. Stir in essential oils.

Carefully pour melted soap into mold. Allow to cool and harden. Do not move the mold until it has set up. To release soap from mold, place mold in freezer for 20 minutes. Remove from freezer and let sit for several minutes. As the mold warms up it will expand and the soap will pop out.

*To have the trinket remain in the center of the soap you can do a double pour. Pour melted soap into mold filling 1/2 way. Allow to cool and set-up for 10 minutes. Place trinket right-side down and pour another layer of melted soap into mold.
