Snow Candy Goat Milk Soap

Pa and Ma showed them how to pour the dark syrup in little streams on to the snow. They made circles, and curlicues, and squiggledy things… ~ Little House in the Big Woods

 

Pure maple syrup is the only ingredient in this soap that offers any scent to this bar. The syrup gives a very slight, sweet scent and gives this soap a color very similiar to the snow candy described in the book. 

 

The Little House on the Prarie books were a favorite of mine as a child. I loved imagining myself in their time, living without modern conveniences. And now, I get to milk my goats and create my own soap and I like to think in a small way, I've brought their time to life in mine.
