Mini Batch two

This batch was totally experimental based on conversation I was reading. I used milk and a slowcooker. The milk actually would have gone well but when I was nearly done mixing I got a bit over confident and pour in my lye too fast. The bars turned out very nice. I popped them out of the pan but I couldn't do that very well/easily from the muffin pans I used. I will have to order some pan from a site I found if I plan to do HP instead of CP. These bars do seem much easier to store since they don't have to be laid as flat or be left alone. I put them in a little basket and will keep them there for a week or so. I may alternate between the two processes as I can see the things I woulodn't be able to so with HP(as far as making my bars look pretty). It took an hour to trace so I'm guessing that is normal. The burned milk actually doesn't look terrible. The bars are tan and not much darker than the ones I made with water. Again, I'm assuming the olive oil makes them a darker shade. I also added honey and cocoa to these bars. They are unscented but would be very pretty with the brown marbeling if they were in bar instead of button form.

I will probably make a couple more batches of milk soap for the simple reason that I have too much milk in my freezer and I need it gone! I bought a little too much on sale a couple months ago. I'd also really like to learn how to get the lye in without burning.
