How to make Minion inspired Bath Bombs…

~Lemon ‘Minion Inspired’ Bath Bomb Recipe ~

(Yields: Approx. 12 bath bombs)

SUPPLIES You will NEED:
1 Wilton 12 cup mini muffin silicone mold
1 cup baking soda
1 cup citric acid
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup coconut oil
10/12 drops lemon essential oil (or whatever scent you prefer)
2/3 drops yellow food coloring
Wilton 24 ct Despicable Me sugar decorations

HOW TO MAKE THE BATH BOMBS:

 

1.   First preheat your oven to 140°degrees.

2.  Add the baking soda, cornstarch, coconut oil, citric acid, lemon essential oil and the yellow coloring into either a glass or metal bowl (not plastic). Stir until well incorporated.  The mixture should resemble a consistency of sand.

3.  Transfer the sandy bath bomb mixture into their molds.  Pat down very firmly.

4.  Put the silicone mold on a cookie sheet and place in the oven. Turn the preheated oven OFF and leave the mold in the oven for 1 hour, keeping the door closed.

5.  Remove the silicone mold from the oven and immediately place a minion sugar decoration on top of each bath bomb. Pressing firmly. Allow the bath bombs to cool inside their molds for 2 hours.

6.  Carefully pop each bath bomb out of its mold and allow to air dry overnight.

7.  Store in a mason jar or other glass, airtight container.

8.  Use a bath bomb by dropping into your warm bath water!  As it dissolves, enjoy the fresh fun scent of lemon and the moisturizing coconut oil!
