Candy Cane Bath Salts

I was browing jar mix recipes one day and found this super cute recipe that was definitely good for the holidays! Here's the recipe:
2 bags of Epsom Salt (each is 4 lbs)
1 box Kosher Salt (about 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon glycerin
12 drops red food coloring
12 drops pepperment essential oils
12 12 oz jelly jars

The only ingredient I didn't find at walmart was the last one, which I bought on ebay for about $2.50.

In one bowl you mix 1 bag Epsom Salt, 3 cups Kosher Salt, 1/4 teaspoon glycerin, 6 drops of red food coloring, and 6 drops peppermint essential oils. Mix it really really well until the color is even.

In the other bowl you mix 1 bag Epsom Salt, 3 cups Kosher Salt, 1/4 teaspoon glycerin, and 6 drops of peppermint essential oils.

Next, while holding your jar at an angle, layer the pink and white mixes. Then, put a circle of fabric on top of the inner lid, screw on the outer lid, and put a tag w/ the directions: Use 2-3 Tablespoons for a refreshing bath!
It was lots of fun to make this b/c me and my house smelled so nice!
