Start with a simple, odorless lotion, or use a foot lotion that already contains strong peppermint extracts, such as the Body Shop’s Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion (see Shopping Sources Guide, page 143). Or, why not make your own lotion? See page 65 for Hint of Cocoa Body Lotion.

Ingredients

　　1 cup odorless or mint lotion

　　3 drops peppermint extract

　　1 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, melted

　　Pour the contents of a small bottle of lotion (about 1 cup) into a small bowl. Add the peppermint extract and the chocolate, then stir together. Return the lotion to the bottle using a pastry bag or a sealable plastic bag with the corner snipped out.

　　Chocolate Bliss
