DIRECTIONS

Before starting this tutorial please make sure to read all instructions. Use caution when handling melted oils. Do not weigh fragrance oils into plastic containers; use glass or stainless steel.

Step 1 – Make The Truffle Base

Combine the cocoa butter and emulsifying wax in a small funnel pitcher and microwave for about 4 minutes on high power, or until melted, stirring midway through. Set aside to cool briefly.

Add the bath bomb base and stir until smooth. Add the fragrance oil and stir to combine. Divide the mixture evenly into two funnel pitchers. Set one pitcher aside.

Add five drops of liquid colorant to one of the funnel pitchers or more to achieve desired shade. Stir to combine.

Step 2 – Pour The First Layer

Fill the cavities of the mold halfway with the orange-colored mixture. Freeze for 20 minutes, or until solid. (Tip: To prevent spills, place your mold in the freezer before you fill it and pour your truffles in the freezer. Alternatively, place a baking tray under your mold before pouring to make transferring your truffles easier.)
