Decadent Bath Bombs Recipes

WORLDS SIMPLEST FIZZY BATH BOMBS USING KITCHEN INGREDIENTS

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl by hand.
• Mix oil and scent together. You can choose to add the food color to oil now OR wait and add it to the mixture after everything else is combined in the next step. (If you add the food color to the oil now you will achieve a more uniform color. If you add to the food color after you have mixed the oil into the dry ingredients in the next step you will get a more speckled effect).
• Mix the oil mixture into the dry ingredients and mix very well with a fork. If you did not add the food color in the last step, do so now and mix.
• Now for the fun part! You can mix in some dried flowers if you like, I don't because I hate the mess in my tub. Press the bath bomb mixture into molds. In the middle of the bomb you can push in a little bath pearl or small toy or plastic flower (kids LOVE this). I have also tried sprinkling a little bath salt into the mold before you press in the bath bomb for decoration. Dry over night.
• Separate from molds and they are ready to drop into your bath! Simple huh!

BATH BOMBS

Steps:

• Mix together well a small amount of baking soda, food coloring and 10-20 drops of fragrance oil in a bowl.
• Add this mixture to the remaining baking soda, citric acid, and corn starch (and flower petals, if using).
• Mix well.
• Spritz the mixture with water while mixing with your hands.
• Keep spritzing and mixing until a handful, when squeezed, keeps its shape.
• DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH WATER.
• Press the mixture firmly into your mold (try plain 2" round chocolate molds).
• Do not use molds that are large, nor those that have intricate detail- they will break.
• Pop out of mold immediately (be careful not to break it.) Let it dry overnight.
• The bath bomb will grow slightly when drying.
• Store by wrapping individually, or store in a jar with a tight lid.
