Chocolate Mint Lip Gloss
A great lip gloss – made even better because it uses REAL chocolate!
This is a fun, easy gift to make for friends and family, and they'll beg for the recipe. This recipe makes one lip-gloss, but you can easily double or triple the recipe.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons Cocoa Butter
4-5 Chocolate Chips
1 Vitamin E capsule
3 drops peppermint extract (try two drops to start, and add another
drop or two if it's not strong enough.)
tiny glass or plastic jar with lid
First, melt the cocoa butter and chocolate chips together. I like to do this in a small, microwave-safe dish in the microwave. Heat on medium-high heat for about 40 seconds. Take out, and stir. If mixture isn't melted, put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds, take out and stir again. The mixture should be melted together now. Using a small spoon, blend together very well.
Then, pop the gelatin capsule of Vitamin E and squeeze out the liquid into the bowl. Add the peppermint extract, and stir well.
Spoon the mixture into small glass jars, cover with lids and cool in the refrigerator until solid.

PARSLEY: This herb has been used and acclaimed as an effective measure in treating various types of cell degeneration, but it is also an excellent diuretic. Added to food whenever possible, it will increase the iron content of one's blood and increase resistance to all types of infectious diseases. This herb is also very high in Vitamin A.
