Needs a little help

chatteringfemale

Does anyone at all happen to know of where I can get a recipe that I found in here a while back for peppermint bath salts? I want to say that it was under something like gifts in jars or something like that. It had the picture and everything. What I mean by everything is it took you step by step through the making of it. I was so in hopes of making this for some christmas presents. I even bought an upright mixer off of QVC for this recipe. LOL I know that I had it bookmarked, but goodness I guess AOL must have eaten it. I also had a folder of nothing but postcards and now it's gone too. Any help for this recipe would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Candy Cane Bath Salts:

2 cups epsom salts
1/2 c. sea salt
4-6 drops peppermint oil
2-3 drops red food coloring.
Place one cup of epsom and 1/4 cup sea salt in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add 2-3 drops peppermint oil.
Place the remaining ingredients in a second bowl. Mix all ingredients well. Layer the red and white salts in a clear bottle or jar. Tie with a ribbon and some small candy canes. This makes a great holiday gift for friends. ~Tina~

I was looking in bbs for your recipe, but I could not find anything.

So I looked around and found this.

gifts in a jar:
candy cane bath salts

Pretty layered bath salts make a perfect gift for teens, co-workers or teachers.

Makes 12 gift jars at a cost approximately $1.50 per jar.



Materials and Supplies for Candy Cane Bath Salts:

12 tall jelly (12-ounce) canning jars with lid and rings

2 4-pound cartons Epsom Salts (approximately 16 cups)
4 pounds sea salt or Kosher salt (approximately 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon glycerin, divided
12 to 15 drops peppermint essential oil
12 to 15 drops red food color

3 pieces cardstock (for tags)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions:

Wash, rinse and dry canning jars.

Empty one carton Epsom Salts into large mixing bowl or batter bowl. Add 3 cups sea salt, stir well. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon glycerin and 6 to 8 drops essential oil. Mix well.

In second large mixing bowl, empty one carton Epsom Salts, and add 3 cups sea salt. Stir well. Add 1/4 teaspoon glycerin, 6 to 8 drops essential oil, and food color. Stir until completely blended. Color should be even.

CEO's tip: use a heavy-duty stand mixer (such as Kitchenaid-brand) to mix bath salts easily. Set mixer to lowest setting and mix until color is even--but don't try this with hand mixers or smaller stand mixers!

Holding canning jars at an angle, layer salts in jars, alternating white and colored mixtures.
