Bath Fizzies recipe


Here's the instructions for the bath fizzies that Kim made for the shower. I tried them last night and they are yummy. Kim made them baby powder scented for the baby shower theme, blue because it's a boy. Thanks Kim for sharing the recipe!






Sift 1 3/4 cup baking soda, 1 cup citric acid, and 2 cups cornstarch
through a sieve to remove chunks. To make different tints, fill small
spritzer bottles with water and add about 6 drops of food coloring to
each. Pour 1 cup of powdered mixture into a glass bowl. Lightly
spritz, stirring after each spritz, until powder is desired color. Add
water slowly, so mixture does not fizz. If mixing two tints, alternate
colors as you spritz. Check the consistency of powder with your
fingertips; when it can be tightly packed or shaped, stop spritzing
(this may take a little while). Select an essential oil. Add 5 drops
if it's one of the stronger scents (peppermint, lavender), 6 if it's a
weaker one (lemon, grapefruit). Mix well. Firmly pack mixture into
small baking molds. Approximately use 1/4 cup for each fizzy, which is
good for one bath. Allow mixture to set for 2 hours, then pop out
carefully. Repeat with different tints for remaining powder.

To save a few steps I put the scent and color into a little spritzer
with water. I also used a mini-muffin pan as my mold, scooping the
mixture with the Pampered Chef Medium Scoop.

Enjoy!
