CANDY CANE BATH SALTS

Win over his mom with this sweet calorie-free treat.

- 2 cups Epsom salts

- 1 cup sea salt

In a bowl, combine salts and oil. Spoon out half into another bowl; stir in food coloring until salt turns red. (Don't worry, it won't dye skin or tub.) Scoop a layer of white salt into jar. Smooth along the diagonal, then repeat with red salt until jar is full and looks like a candy cane. Tie on a scoop-you'll use about 1/4 cup per bath-with a ribbon, if desired.
