this looks too delicious to eat than to put on my face. I'd be guilty of licking the bowl after I apply.

Ooooo what a great beauty recipe!! Definitely one I'm adding to my must try list
I was eagerly waiting for you to post a chocolate facial mask :) looks yum....can I use hersheys unsweetened cocoa powder (which I have at present) or is there any particular variety I should look for..Thanks
Anonymous- as long as cocoa powder is the only listed item on the ingredient list, yes. :)
I love that I have all these ingredients in my cupboard and don't need to go to the store for anything! Going to try this today.
all my fav ingredients in one!! gonna try this one!!! thank you for this!! xo
I've just recently found your blog and LOVE it...I've been checking in just about everyday :) Im super confused because it seems like theres a 50/50 for saying coconut oil cause oil bc its comodegenic and other 50 says its great for acne. I've been doing raw honey masks and OCM for 2 months now and my skin still wont clear up...I guess I can give coconut oil a try since it probably cant get too much worse!! Thanks for all the great tips!
I can't wait to try this! You are so creative!
LOVE these DIY tricks :) Saving this one!
Note to self: double the recipe. Put half on face. Put other half IN face. =)
Hmmmm I want to eat this mask. Haha. It's so funny because the other day Matt was like why do we have all of this coconut oil and apple cider vinegar? Haha...I've clearly been reading your blog and taking your tips to heart. But seriously they are so true - love coconut oil for my skin and hair, and the Apple Cider Vinegar has been really helping with my digestion.
I tried this tonight, but am melting like a snowcone in Phoenix! Somehow my consistency didn't come out as your did and I used the exact same ingredients. It tastes lovely dripping into my mouth, though!
Looks awesome...thanks for posting!! xoxo
I could do this but would be so afraid I would be licking my face the whole time! Ha! sounds yummy!!
This looks like dessert but if you say it's good for your skin I'll take your word for it! :)
Good enough to eat...literally!
Awesome, will try this!
I love my honey masks! I never would've thought to add cocoa though! Can't wait to try that next time!
This sounds sooo awesome! Anything that makes my face smooth and smells like Pillsbury Doughboys Bakery, I'm bought!! :D
Is it weird that I want to eat this too?! Is that an option?! Haha! You are so creative! Love it! xo!
I have heard that if you can't eat it (any face/skin product) , then don't put it on your skin...
I just washed this mask off. It made enough for two treatments. It smelled scrumptious the entire time it was on my face. And now my face feels so soft. :)
I included your site and this page on my blog about DIY bloggers. Check it out! http://makeitforpennies.blogspot.com/2013/09/blogs-i-like-to-read.html
I couldn't help but be curious about that professional chocolate wasabi mask that you mentioned up top and I happen to have some wasabi powder sitting around. What would your advice be about maybe adding a quarter teaspoon or so to this mask recipe?
I tried this the other day and I loved it! I definitely noticed that my skin was so much softer. It also tasted so so good!
Hi, is there a substitute for the coconut oil? Unfortunately it breaks me out. Could I use grapeseed oil instead or alternatively, pure aloe vera gel?
very awesome remedy, I can apply it for my face and I can eat it too , really superb post
I've seen recipes lately that use cocoa powder as a FAKE tan..
will this make my face darker ?

Those who don't want to use coconut oil, you can use yogurt or milk along with other ingredients
