Vanilla Rose Bath Bombs
If you don’t have sphere molds, fear not! Mold these vanilla rose bath bombs in a muffin tin, ice cube tray, or with your hands and enjoy a nice warmly scented bath whenever you desire. We prefer standard ice cube trays so that we can use smaller amounts, and even better — mix and match our scents for greater variety.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes
We used a heart shaped silicone mold, but for smaller versions we've used a Madeleine pan, ice cube trays and silicon mini muffin molds. All work well, and make smaller bombs (and thus more quantity).
