I don't know what I'm doing wrong.....
I have cocoa butter that is really hard and I melted down about 4 oz with two teaspoons of jojoba oil and 1/2 tsp of FO. It wouldn't set until I put it in the fridge.
So, I thought maybe it was like chocolate and you can't heat it too hot or it breaks down the crystals, or whatever, SO I heated it gently on a food warmer plate with a towel under the bottom and this morning it looked hard...until I poked it with my finger! It was still mush! What am I doing wrong???
PS: I don't have any beeswax but the cocoa butter is sooo hard I thought that would make a solid bar all by itself.
