Candy Corn Inspired DIY Bath Bomb Recipe for Halloween

Three layered candy corn bath bombs for Halloween



Halloween is on its way, which means it's time to think about fun Halloween crafts!

What better kind of craft to make than one that will encourage your kids to take a bath!

These easy candy corn inspired Halloween bath bombs are easy to make but are a fun treat for kids to make and give to each other.

Make these about 48 hours before you need them to allow them to dry completely before giving them as gifts.

Pro tip: If you are planning to give your Halloween bath bombs away as gifts, try making them in snap-together ornaments instead of a bath bomb mold. Once they are completely dry, use the ornament case as a protective cover!

    Add coconut oil and polysorbate 80. 

    Polysorbate helps the coconut oil disperse more evenly in your bath water and prevents the mica from sticking to the side of the tub.
