Pumpkin Pie Squares MP Soap Recipe

For Crust:To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 5.5 oz. of cut up white soap base. Heat in microwave until melted. Add 0.25 oz. walnut shell powder and stir into soap.

Place mold on scale and tare to zero. Pour slightly under 1 oz. into each mold cavity. Let harden.

For Filling: To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 28 oz. of cut up clear soap base. Heat in microwave until melted.

Add 1/2 teaspoon Copper Mica Powder. Mix with wire whisk until blended well. Add about 10 drops of Citrus Orange Liquid Dye and mix well.

In plastic beaker, mix together 0.80 oz. fragrance oil with 0.40 oz. vanilla stabilizer. Mix well and let sit for 2 minutes. Add to melted soap.

Spritz bottom layer generously with alcohol. Mix soap before pouring to keep mica color blended. Pour "pumpkin filling" over oatmeal soap leaving about 1/4" for topping. Fill all 6 cavities and then spritz with alcohol to release any bubbles. Let soap harden.

For Topping: Cut up 12 oz. white soap base and melt in microwave. Add 1 oz. liquid glycerin.

When temperature of soap cools to about 135-140°F, mix soap with hand mixer just until soap starts to get frothy and thicken slightly.

Very quickly, pour or spoon soap topping over the top of each bar. It should spread easily. Then take a spoon and gently make little peaks in the topping. It will harden fast so this entire step needs to be done quickly. NOTE: If the topping hardens too quickly, heat in microwave for about 10 seconds. Mix, again, until slightly frothy then pour over soap

Once the soap has peaks, sprinkle with mica. Let cool completely.

Unmold and wrap in plastic wrap or other airtight packaging of choice. If desired, tie with raffia to give them a fall holiday look.

Label product accordingly.
