• In a small bowl mix together 1/2 teaspoon AT A TIME of almond oil, 6- 8 drops of your chosen essential oil& 6 drops of food colouring.
• 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.

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!

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.
