This week we strayed from food and made an all natural body butter instead. My mom had this idea, and she had already bought miniature mason jars to put it in. So we mixed together almond oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, and a little almond extract (for scent). After we mixed it in a metal bowl, we put that bowl into a bigger bowl of ice water and whipped it to a peak. Then we just scooped it into the mini jars. It was really that simple.
For those who aren't huge bakers or cooks, this kind of thing is the perfect home-made gift. While most people are giving out home made cookies or chocolates as holiday gifts, you were a little more creative with your home made gift. And this is something that the receivers of your awesome gift will use for a while, and not eat all at once (not to mention, it won't make them fat!). I'm getting ready for the holidays…are you?
