Soapsicles

8 oz. Unscented, Clear Glycerin Soap
1/4 Teaspoon each Cherry, Lime, Grape and Orange Fragrance Oil
Red, Orange, Green and Blue Food Coloring
Popsicle Molds
Popsicle Sticks (unless you plan to use the plastic caps which accompany the mold)

Divide your soap into 4 parts of 2 ounces each.  Melt one part at a time in a glass cup in your microwave. Work in small batches.

To batch one, add cherry fragrance oil and 2 drops of red food coloring. Stir gently and pour into popsicle molds.  Add a popsicle stick (you may wish to use something to prop the stick in the center of your liquid soap, including a piece of mesh or paper, with a slit cut into it.

Repeat the process for orange, lime, and grape (purple is made with 1 drop of blue and 1 drop of red coloring).

Put popsicle molds in your freezer, and when frozen, remove from molds.  Store in cellophane bags with a ribbon or a twist tie.  Be certain to mark clearly so they do not appear to be candy!
