Candy cane bath salts are awesome whether you are just making it for yourself or if you are making it as holiday gifts. This recipe will make 12 12-oz. jars, with a little leftover for you.
Things You’ll Need:
12 12-oz. clear jars, like canning jars
16 cups Epsom Salts, divided in half
6 cups sea salt, divided in half
1/4 tsp. glycerin for each half
12 to 15 drops red food coloring
12 to 15 drops peppermint essential oil
2 large bowlsStep2 – Add 1/4 tsp. glycerin and six to eight drops peppermint essential oil to one of the bowls.
Step3 – Add 1/4 tsp. glycerin, the food coloring and six to eight drops peppermint essential oil to the other bowl.
Step5 – Hold the jars at an angle while you layer alternate colors of the salts into the jar. Place the lid on the jar before you stand it up straight.
Step6 – Add a label to the top of the jar and a ribbon and you have a great gift. So, take a couple of tablespoons of the leftovers and go relax in the bath

Can you use pepermint extract or do you need to buy essential oil? I have that in my cupboard.

Your probably right. I’ll go get some essential oil. I hadn’t thought of that.
Thanks

I buy glycerin at the CVS or Walgreens we have here in Charlottesville..I use my ECB from CVS because it is a little expensive, but its worth it !!
