Bath Melts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Ingredients
    2 cups melted cocoa butter
    2 cups baking soda
    1 cup citric acid
    food coloring (optional)
    essential oils or fragrance oil (skin-safe)
Preparation
    Steps: Melt the cocoa butter, add colorant and fragrance, mix.
    Then add powdered ingredients, stir well and pour into small molds, such as a fancy ice cube tray.
    Let sit in fridge or freezer until set then pop them out of the molds onto waxed paper or parchment paper and let sit for a short while.
    Store in baggies or airtight container.
    Use one or two per bath, and be sure you have a non-slip mat in place, as the oils may make for a slick surface in your tub.
    Note: Be sure that your\"parts\" are based upon weight, that the cocoa butter is melted when you weigh it, and that your\"parts\" are small amounts, such as a tablespoon or two.
    You can also substitute the citric acid with more baking soda and/or sea salt to make non-fizzing melts, however the fizziness helps to slowly disperse your oils through your bath.
