Sharon R-F says
Just made my first batch of the Peppermint Bath Salts and love the scent wafting through my kitchen. I did change a few things. First added double the drops of red food coloring because I like a deep red in my candy cane look. Next I tilted my jars just a little to give them a swirled layered look. They look fabulous!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Sharon… so glad you had fun making yours! 😉
Kathy Tiney says
This is sweet idea as a gift for my family, friends AND myself! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful ideas with everyone! Merry Christmas AND God bless you!
Heidi says
Aww ~ thanks so much for the sweet comment, Kathy! Merry Christmas to you, too! 🙂
Jennifer says
How many jars does this recipe make?
Amanda says
Can you use the peppermint oil in the baking section of the grocery store? Making this tonight and leaving for the store now to hand out tomorrow. !!!
Blaine says
Hi Amanda,
The peppermint at the grocery store is extract for food, not essential oil that you want to use here. You need to go to a place like GNC or a vitamin shop for essential oils.
Effie says
Would like to know if rock salt (used in making ice cream, cooling, ice/snow) would also work?
Amanda Raz says
I doubt it. Epsom Salt is a first aid “body care” item and rock salt is for food.
Laurie E says
The food coloring in the bath salts will not stain anything, correct?
Emily C says
I want to know this as well.
Heidi says
No… I’ve never had an issue with staining, as long as you use just a few drops. Hope that helps! 😉
JaCinda says
Try using pink himayayan salt rather than food coloring for the pink/red then its 100% natural
Kylie Small says
