Fun and Fizzy Bath Bombs from Glory Bee Foods

These shapes of fizzing fun are great for children and adults alike. This recipe can be varied to include some of your favorite fragrances. colors and shapes.

Ingredients:

2 cups baking soda
2/3 cups citric acid
2 tablespoons of soluble dextrose
5 tablespoons of sweet almond oil
6 drops of gel tone colorant
6 drops of essential oils or teaspoon of fragrance oil
plastic mold (the 6 in 1 soap molds work great)

Instructions:
Combine dry ingredients (baking soda, citric acid and soluble dextrose) in a medium bowl and mix well. Blend sweet almond oil with colorant and fragrance in a glass container. Pour into the dry mixture quickly to avoid fizzing. Mix all ingredients together with hands until the mixture stays compressed when squeezed. Wipe inside molds with a small amount of sweet almond oil to prevent bombs from sticking. Fill each cavity 1/3 full and pack firm. Repeat until mold is completely filled. Smooth the top with a straight edge knife. Turn mold over and bang firmly on a flat surface lined with wax paper to remove bombs. Let them set for 24 hours. Makes six 2 oz bombs.
