Secret Recipe Club – Chocolate Coconut Sugar Scrub

February 9, 2014 by angelaskitchen 7 Comments

Chocolate Coconut Sugar Scrub

It is time again for Secret Recipe Club reveal day!  Woo-hoo!  What is the Secret Recipe Club?  It’s a lot like Secret Santa, but with recipes.  Each month you are assigned a blog.  After selecting a recipe from that bloggers repertoire, you make and post it on reveal day.  It is a great way to find fun recipes and blogs.  I like how it gets me to actually sit down and go through another person’s blog.  Blogs are a lot of work and take time to put together.  Instead of skimming through just the new stuff (as is usually easier when we see a new blog) it is fun to really sit down and go through what else the blog has to offer.  Fun stuff!

My assignment this month was Ellie’s blog, The Bitchin’ Kitchin’. Have you seen her blog? No? Well, go on over… I’ll wait…

See? Beautiful! Love her pics and the recipes are WAAAAAAAY to fun to try to pick just one. We’re talking Chicken Enchilada Cups, Sriracha Hummus, Chai-Spiced Scones, Brownie Batter Pancakes, Carrot Ginger Soup, Prosciutto Wrapped Apples, Kale Frittata, Baked Sweet Potato Chips and Pumpkin Pecan Cranberry Muffins, and that is just the tip of the deliciousness you will find on Ellie’s blog. Swoon!

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, however, and having to lovely daughters who have a deep passion for all things chocolate, I thought homemade Chocolate Coconut Sugar Scrub was the perfect recipe to try. We like to try different homemade lotions, scrubs and masks made from natural ingredients. A scrub made with things I already have at home, has natural ingredients in it AND smells like chocolate? Yes, please! So, girls, try to look surprised on Valentine’s Day. M’kay?

    How fun! I just noticed my current (expensive) tub of sugar scrub is almost out. This would be much better than forking over lots of money. AND I'll smell good enough to eat!

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only.

You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
