Christmas Bubble Bar
This Christmas Bubble Bar is a festive take on regular bubble bath. Essentially, it is just bubble bath in a solid form. I absolutely love the way that it looks just like sugar cookies. Plus, there is nothing better than a nice hot bath in the winter and the minty aroma that will fill the room.

Instructions
- Weigh out all of your ingredients.
- Place all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Be sure to be careful when adding the SLSa, you might want to use a face mask as it can poof up a bit.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Separate the bubble bar mixture into three sections.
- Take one of the sections and add green mica powder to it until it is the desired color.
- Add a small amount of baking soda to the bubble bar to thicken it. You are going for a consistency that is not sticky but not so thick that it flakes apart.
- Roll out the bubble bar mixture with a rolling pin. You want to be sure that you make pretty thick bars.
- Cut the bubble bar out with a cookie cutter and place on parchment paper to dry.
- Add red mica powder to a section of the bubble bar.
- Add a but of baking soda to the red and white sections (like you did with the green) until you are at your desired consistency.
- Roll the red and white bubble bar mixtures into a rope shape.
- Twist the colors together.
- Smoosh the mixture up and roll out with rolling pin.
- Cut out the candy canes with your cookie cutter.
- Allow the bubble bars to cool until they are completely hardened. This will normally take about 2 days.
