• Pour the oil mixture into the 1/2 cup of base mix& mix QUICKLY before it starts to fizz!
• Combine with your fingertips until all colour is evenly distributed.
• Wipe a little sweet almond oil inside your moulds.
• Fill the moulds with the mixture, packing it in firmly.
• Repeat this process with 1/2 a cup at a time, using different fragrance/colour blends if you wish.

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.

PRETTY, PRETTY, WELL DEFINED SHAPED FIZZY BATH BOMBS

Steps:

• Begin by adding dry ingredients together. Get lumps out of Citric acid and cornstarch either by sifting or stirring down.
• Melt the Cocoa butter and mix with the almond oil, the food color and the Fragrance Oil (OR Essential Oil). Drizzle into the dry ingredients in order to "bind" the dry ingredients together and mush with a fork until it is mixed very well. You want a consistency where the mixture "starts" to cling together when pressed together to form a ball.
• Now is time to pack into molds (Soap and candy molds work great for this, but try to avoid any that have a very shallow surface area which would be too weak to stand up to being handled, such as small leaves or petal tips, etc.) Pack the mixture down very hard and put the molds into the freezer for about 2 hours.
• Remove the molds from the freezer, pop the bombs out and put them on a sheet of parchment paper. Leave them to dry out completely for 2-3 days.

DECADENT BATH BOMBS

Steps:

• Since coconut oil has a melting point of 76 degrees F, the temperature of your oil will make a difference in the method you use. Coconut oil does not need to be refrigerated, but once you make the bonbons keep them there so that they don't melt. You can't start with refrigerated coconut oil because it is very hard, so start with room temperature.
• If your room temperature is above 76 degrees, the oil will be liquid-you will need to stir in the ingredients and then pour the mix into an ice cube tray, mini muffin tin, or similar receptacle. Then refrigerate until hardened, remove (you may need to briefly set the container in warm water to release the bonbons) and store in a jar in the fridge.
• If your room temperature is below 76 degrees, the coconut oil will be softly solid (as opposed to hard solid like straight from the refrigerator). You can mix the ingredients and then scoop by rounded tablespoon onto a baking sheet or plate to chill in the fridge. Once hardened, remove (you may need to set the sheet or plate in shallow warm water to release the bonbons, or line the sheet with wax paper first) and store in a jar in the fridge.
• Dissolve one or two bonbons in your bath, get soft. Makes 12 bonbons.
