Oooh la la…yes, we are going there! Spice up your Valentine’s Day with our homemade essential oils chocolate body paint recipe!
Chocolate Body Paint is probably pretty self-explanatory. It is also FUN and delicious! This could not be simpler to make, as it is only three ingredients. Dare I say this is even a healthy recipe, too? We have shared three different options for different varieties of chocolate with complementary oil “flavor combos” for you below.
I’ll just go ahead and let your imagination run wild instead of telling you exactly how to use it 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day!
UPDATE from Jenn:
So as I have mentioned, I am happily married and have children, but this recipe still makes me blush to talk about publicly. Until now. So here’s my funny story…
My sweet mama is a faithful follower of our site and recipes. She’s a fantastic supporter and encouragement to this blog. But when she mentioned to me that she LOVES our Chocolate Body Paint recipe, I wanted to crawl in a hole. C’mon. It’s my MOM.
Then she giggled and clarified that she loves this recipe to make chocolate covered strawberries. Imagine my relief. 😉
So feel free to use this recipe as written or drizzle it over fruit. Either way, I probably don’t need to hear more.
Be sure to only use the highest quality essential oils when you are flavoring your edible creations. A little goes a long way!
