Avery's Red Egg Ginger Bath Bombs

For a friend's baby's red egg and ginger party, we made ginger bath bombs.  we used this recipe and pressed them into chocolate egg molds.  we then put them into chocolate baggies and printed stickers.

Ingredients:
8 oz Corn starch
4 oz Baking soda
4 oz Citric acid
3 oz Cocoa butter , softened (you can also use pure shea butter here instead, which has a much milder scent — the cocoa butter smells like chocolate)
2-3 T sweet almond oil
2-3 T coconut oil
1/2 small bottle of rose essential oil; you can use any essential oils you love
soap dye

1. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Add the liquid ingredients and oils, then using your hands, press the mixture together until is has the consistently you like. You can also get creative here and add essential oil combinations, or even dried herbs, like lavender.
3. To make red eggs, i used a red soap dye
4. Press the mixture into molds -we used egg chocolate molds.  we stuck them in the freezer for 5 minutes and they were hard enough to remove and bag
