Candy Cane Bath Salts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 cups Epsom salts
1/2 cup rock salt or sea salt
4-5 drops peppermint oil
2-3 drops red food coloring

Place 1 cup of the Epsom salts and 1/4 cup of rock salt in a mixing
bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and
mix until evenly distributed.
Place the remaining 1 cup Epsom salts and 1/4 cup rock salt in a
separate bowl or bag. Add the food coloring and mix until the color
is evenly distributed and you are pleased with the shade of red. Add
2-3 drops of peppermint oil and stir well.
In a large jar or clear bottle (I like to use spring water bottles)
layer the white salts and red salts. You want to create a striped
effect, like a candy cane. Place the top on your container and tie
with a big bow and a few real candy canes. Makes 20 ounces
