Candy Cane Bath Salts Recipe
Candy Cane Bath Salts Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups Epsom salts
1/2 cup rock salt or sea salt
4-5 drops peppermint oil
2-3 drops red food coloring
Directions:
Place 1 cup of the Epsom salts and 1/4 cup of rock salt in a mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and mix until they are fully distributed.
Place the remaining 1 cup of Epsom salts and 1/4 cup rock salts in a separate bowl or bag. Add the food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed and your happy with the shade of red. Add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and stir well.
In a large jar or clear bottle-I like to use spring water bottles-layer the white salts and the red salts. You want to create a striped effect, like a candy cane.
Gift Giving:
Place the top on your container and tie with a big bow and a few real candy canes.
*Makes about 20oz.

The perfect gift to give my conservative NC relatives. It's not crazy expensive, they can use it and it makes me look good. yeahhhhh

I do think it's a good idea, too, and I'll keep it in mind. However, if I don't give my gifts out before Christmas I try not to give someone Christmas themed gifts, ya know? But candy canes are great for all of winter, and so is that peppermint smell.

If there was red food color in the salts wouldn't it turn the water red? I was just wondering because I think that would kinda creep me out.

you can't really tell b/c when you're using the salts you're really only using a quarter of a drop in a huge tub of water.

that is such a good idea! I have like twenty different ways I can use that this season!

I thought the same thing at first but it's true it would be more of a very light pink if you would notice at all.
If you are worried you could try it out before giving it to friends and family.
I plan on trying out my batch.

Great idea! Thanks.
Do you think the red food coloring will discolor skin?
