Food coloring most likely will stain your receptacle.

Please be careful making these and burning these if you are using a candle to release the scent. I had a fire years ago from granules that used a tea light to release the smell. Had I not been close by, I shudder to think what would have happened. A pair of drapes was burned and the wall scorched in seconds before I could put it out. Thank G-d no one died.

I'm not sure how long food coloring will last but it should be safe to use.
I would say to just try it with one batch and see if you like it.

I have made some simmering granules with dishwasher salt, food colouring, and fragrance oil and left them to dry for 24 hours on a tray uncovered. They smelled strong, but then when I put them on a burner they don't let off much scent? Help please.

Here is a great site to make it so easy for you to make your simmering granules and store them in a jar. This person has been making them for years and understand that you need a lot of the fregrances oil to make them smell great when they burn.

There are a lot of YouTube how to videos. This is just one of them:

I urge people to be very cautious with these. Years ago I tried this and must not have used the right oil and it started a little fire in the dish. Some essential oils are highly flammable.

Be sure to know exactly what you are working with and follow recipes to the letter.

I'm interested in making the scented granules, but I'm struggling to find the right little white rocks. They definitely aren't made from rock salt as I've already tried them, even though they work they aren't the same.

The picture is to show what I'm looking for.Rocks Used for Making Scented Granules - bowl of irregular white rocks
 

If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I think you need to use salt crystals.

There was just a gal on the site and we were having this same conversation. She was using coarse sea salt.

Here is the thread:

Remember safety first with making these!! Oils can be quite flammable!

Would anyone have the recipe for homemade simmering crystals? I don't know which dye to use or which fragrance. Is it oil based?

I tried to add colour to my granules, but they went a bit mushy and wet. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
Thank you.

Hi, I normally spread the coloured granules out onto a baking try with parchment paper and let them dry out for 24 hours to 48 hours.
Hope this helps to stop them going mushy

Hi Joan
I put mine on baking tray with parchment paper underneath and let them dry out for 24-48 hours after adding food colouring and oil.
Hope this helps
