Fizzin' Bath melts are tiny solid cubes of oils with a fizzing base inside that stay solid at room temperature, but gently melt and fizz into a warm bath, enriching the bath with moisturising oils and fragrance.

YOU'LL NEED..... 1) A saucepan 2) A mixing bowl 3) An ice cube tray or suitable small moulds. 4) Kitchen scales
INGREDIENTS 170g cocoa butter 80ml sweet almond oil 200g bicarbonate of soda 100g citric acid Colour (either oil dispersible or powders such as ultramarines or oxides.) as required Essential or Fragrance oil

HOW TO.....

Gently melt the cocoa butter over a low heat.	Remove from heat, add the sweet almond oil and leave to cool (It should cool until only just warm).	Add fragrance as required (the equivalent of a few drops of essential or fragrance oil per fizzin' melt is sufficeint.
Colour can be added a little at a time and stirred/whisked (hand whisk) to achieve enough depth.	Remember, once set solid the background colour of the cocoa butter will be opaque off-white). If you are using ultramarines or oxides to colour, be sure the mixture is fairly cool before adding them, or they will not disperse and colour the mixture.	Whilst the cocoa butter is cooling, mix the citric acid and bicarbonate of soda together in the bowl, ensuring there are no lumps. You can seive it if it helps.
Once the cocoa butter has cooled but is still completely liquid, add the citric acid/bicarbonate of soda mixture.	Stir thoroughly (if it starts fizzing and expanding the cocoa butter is too hot, so try a little first)	Then spoon into ice cube tray moulds and cool immediately in the freezer or ice box.
Don't actually freeze them, just ensure they are very cold and completely solid.	Press out of ice cube moulds as you would an ice cube and leave at room temperature.	There! You've made fizzin' bath melts. Wasn't that easy!
