Pouring Jug
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- Using weighing scales, measure out 50g of ProSoy Pillar Wax, and 5g of your chosen Fragrance Oil.
- Using a Wax Melter or double boiler, melt the wax to no more than 80°C.
- Once completely melted, remove the wax from the heat. As the wax cools to 70°C, add the Fragrance Oil and stir thoroughly.
- Next, add a few Brown Dye Chips to the wax and stir until they are already dissolved. Repeat the process until you achieve your desired shade.
- Add a small amount of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder and stir thoroughly.
- Pour your wax melts mixture into the 5 Cavity Snap Bar.
- Allow melts to fully solidify (approximately 2–6 hours). Once set, carefully remove from mould. Your chocolate-inspired wax melts are now ready to enjoy.
By using cocoa powder in your wax, you can achieve a natural chocolate tone while adding depth to the overall aesthetic. Paired with a chocolate or sweet-inspired fragrance oil, these melts create a warm, comforting aroma that fills your home with nostalgic sweetness.
