December 18, 2014 at 8:13 amJust 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
December 26, 2014 at 2:38 pmYou’re very welcome, Sharon… so glad you had fun making yours! 😉

Amanda says
December 19, 2013 at 2:40 pmCan 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
December 20, 2013 at 7:53 amHi 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
December 19, 2013 at 8:45 amWould like to know if rock salt (used in making ice cream, cooling, ice/snow) would also work?
Amanda Raz says
December 19, 2013 at 4:33 pmI doubt it. Epsom Salt is a first aid “body care” item and rock salt is for food.
Laurie E says
December 16, 2013 at 5:40 amThe food coloring in the bath salts will not stain anything, correct?
Emily C says
December 20, 2013 at 11:22 amI want to know this as well.
Heidi says
December 20, 2013 at 11:46 amNo… I’ve never had an issue with staining, as long as you use just a few drops. Hope that helps! 😉
JaCinda says
November 22, 2014 at 5:51 pmTry using pink himayayan salt rather than food coloring for the pink/red then its 100% natural
