Candy Cane DIY Soap Recipe
"I cut up some white bars of soap into chunks and put each bar in the mic on high for 1 minute until a big fluffly cloud. Next I added a few drops of red food coloring and big tablespoon of crushed candy cane & press into pan .5" thick. Fill pan and when cool, cut, wrap in plastic and add a ribbon. Make a candy-can tripod (leave plastic on) with support bars for soap holder."

This would be a great stocking stuffer, especially for the women, but I have a few questions about it. First, I can't quite wrap my head around the idea of something sticky in a bar of soap! Then, wouldn't the crushed candy be rough? Or does it dissolve fast enough when the soap is used?

Such great questions! I looked at Starr's blog to see if others had similar questions, and this is what she said: "I was worried the crushed candy cane would be sticky but not at all it an excellent exfoliate. Thanks for checking it out!" I hope that helps! -Editor of FaveCrafts
