Valentine's Day on a Budget - Chocolate Bath Salts

I love bath salts, as I know a lot of women do. But sometimes buying them in the store can cost a fortune. The last ones I bought were like $20 and there wasn't really that much in the container. The other day I ran across this really neat recipe for making chocolate bath salts at home. This is a great gift for your friends, sister, mother, etc. Or if you are a man you can mix up a batch of these for your sweetie for Valentine's Day.

Chocolate bath Salts are proven way to boost blood flow to the skin and the yummy smell of chocolate is known to soothe and comfort.
Ingredients needed are:
6 cups of Epsom Salt
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Combine all ingredient into a bowl, then spread them out on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. Let them air dry fully. Then pour them into a sealable jar.

For a gift you can buy a fancy glass jar and decorate with some ribbon.

For a romantic gift add a bottle of wine, some candles and this nice glass jar filled with yummy chocolate bath salts and they can enjoy a nice soothing hot bath, and come out smelling good enough to eat.
