cozyaromas Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I finally decided to try this receipe out after seeing all the reviews for it. I must say it was an easy receipe to make and the results were great. I actually made them for an swap at the GA Conference this weekend. Hopefully, the particpants will like them just as much as I have. I basically stuck to the receipe to get the full effect, I didn't add any cocoa powder I left them plain and I scented them FNWL's Milk Chocolate. Somebody thought I was baking cookies when they walked into the house...I just said it was my bath melts!! I poured mixture into the candy liners, and I must say they look adorable. Thanks Bunny for the wonderful receipe!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edensong Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Has anyone considered adding lecithin to help cut the grease ring in the tub?I also wonder if colored clays would work for colorant (in place of the original recipe's cocoa powder) -- I'm thinking pink kaolin clay or Rhassoul clay.Pink kaolin is a gentle clay, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. Pink kaolin clay does not draw oils from the skin and can therefore be used on dry skin types. Rhassoul because of its characteristics.Reduces dryness (79%) Reduces flakiness (41%) Improves skin clarity (68%) Improves skin elasticity / firmness (24%)Improves skin texture (106%) Removes surface oil and oil from inside and around comedonsRemoves dead skin layers, resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skinIn addition to the oil removal characteristics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 so lecithin cuts the grease?I have not made these yet..looked at the recipe plenty of times..the clay sounds like a good idea too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I am so glad that I found this! I can't find the search function anymore, and I was going to make some more of these for Christmas gifts. I made these when they were first posted, and they were SO popular. My FIL wanted to eat them, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judette Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have made these a couple of years ago in the little foil candy cups. I think I will try now in the silicone ice cube trays. They should be just about the right size for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number2of7 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'm a little late, but I finally got around to trying these this weekend.They turned out "okay" but when I added the citric acid to the mix, it was more like the consistency of apple sauce so the mix was not very pourable.So, my question is this: Do I add the citric acid to the mix when it's still a true liquid consistency (such as milk) or a little thicker (like elmers glue before it hardens - hope that's a good description)Thanks!

soapgirl10 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 You can find the mini muffin paper cups in the craft supply area at Wal- Mart. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWNMBYRNE Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I just started making these and they are wonderful!!! I have been purchasing everything from wholesale supplies plus and was wondering if I could purchase the cornstarch and baking soda from the grocery store? Is it the same? Also, what do you guys charge for these? My fizzies are about 3 1/2 ounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 yes indeedy - they are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Just made some of these for my DIL and her best friend. Didn't have Coca Butter, so used Aloe Butter. Mixed that with some VS Super Model FO and a couple of drops of pink. I don't have a mini-muffin pan but do have a silicon brownie bite pan with 24 cavities. Popped them into the freezer for about 20 minutes. Let them warm up a bit and they popped right out. Each melt is about 1 ounce. Not sure if they are large enough but will find out from my DIL. In this thread, I've seen size recommendations anywhere from 1/2 ounce to 2 ounces. They do seem to be very moisturizing and are very easy to make. Thanks Bunny!!2of7 - Mine did the same thing, thickened up pretty quickly. I used the micro to melt the aloe and put a little heat in it. Then added everything but the Citric Acid. Stirred that pretty good to get it as smooth as possible. Once it was slightly cooler and thicker, probably about glue consistency, added the CA and mixed as hard and quickly as I could. By then, it was probably like a thick brownie mix. Once I poured two or three, I thought is was a bit too thick. So, used a spoon to fill the cavities, which worked out really well. Just need to find an icing knife or something to smooth the backs a little better.Hope that helps. Had to help a fellow Georgian out...

krodriguez Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 That looks wonderful! Is there any way to do a bath melt without citric acid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin1970 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Without the citric acid it wont fizz. Not sure if it would work or not. Maybe try a very small batch and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwoods Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 You can make a bath melt without the citric acid-- but it won't disperse as thoroughly or as quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjconner Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I poured these into the .75 oz souffle cups BCN sells. It is the perfect amount of bath melt and easy peasy packaging. I label the side of the cup with the scent name and put the customer's melt choices in a tin tie bag already labeled with ingredients and directions. I sold a lot of them at $1 a piece.Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
