Rainbow Sprinkle Bath Bombs

Ingredients (Will make 6-9 large bath bombs)

• 8 oz. Baking soda
• 4 oz. Epsom salt
• 4 oz. Cornstarch
• 4 oz.Citric Acid
• 3 teaspoons water + additional drops as needed
• 2 teaspoons fragrance oil etc. or 8-10 drops essential oil
• 2-5 drops food coloring
• Silicone heart mold
• Rainbow Nonpareils

In a large bowl, combine the Epsom salt, cornstarch, baking soda and citric acid. Stir the ingredients together using a whisk.

In a separate small bowl, mix together your wet ingredients: water, fragrance and food coloring.

Slowly whisk in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients a little at a time. Don’t dump the whole thing in at once because you’ll ruin the fizz. How? Well, the fizz will happen now instead of later. . .when you actually want it in your bath. So pour lightly and slowly while whisking away!

You want to get the mix to a “clumping” consistency. If it seems to be a little dry, add a drop or two of water at a time and continue to mix. Use your fingers to test the consistency. Pinch a bit between your fingers. Does it stick together? Yes? Then you’re ready to put it into your mold.

Okay, now for the the fun part. Get out those sprinkles and start shaking them on! I just put sprinkles on the tops of my bath bombs (which are technically the bottoms). If you want sprinkles on both sides, you can shake some into the mold before you add the powder mixture.

If you feel like the tops of your bath bombs are still a bit too “powdery,” you can always spritz the tops with a little water. A LITTLE water. Otherwise you’re going to have premature fizzing again.

Alright, now you wait. Like overnight wait. I’d say at least 12-14 hours for sure – 24 hours if you want to be certain that they’ll pop out of the molds for you with no problems.

What’s so awesome about these bath bombs is that when they start to fizz, the sprinkles begin to release their color, producing a rainbow effect.
