How to Make Solid Bubble Bars (Beginner-Friendly Recipe)
Solid bubble bars are designed to create long-lasting foam and a more luxurious bath experience compared to liquid bubble bath. With the right balance of surfactants, structure, and binders, you can create bubble bars that produce both fluffy and creamy bubbles while holding their shape. I love that you can make bubble baths even better than they already are with these adorable ice cream scoop bubble bars!

Mix until a soft, moldable dough forms. The texture should resemble soft cookie dough. I started out with a spatula then I ended up just mixing it with my hands.Shape the Bubble Bars

Allow the bubble bars to dry for 24 to 48 hours. Then need to harden up before you can package or use them.
