Instructions

Candle Base

  • Weigh out the wax and fragrance oil for the candle base.
  • Put the soy wax into the pouring pot.
  • Add the color to the soy wax. (To darken the brown, add black candle dye).
  • Melt on a double boiler.
  • While the wax is melting, place a small amount of hot glue on your wick tab and place it in the center of the cup.
  • Once fully melted remove from heat.
  • Once the temperature of the wax is below the flash point of your fragrance oil, add your chocolate and toffee fragrance oil. (The flash point on mine was 190°F.)
  • Stir the wax and fragrance oil until the wax is in the desired pouring temperature range. (The wax I used had a suggested pouring temperature of 90° - 100° F.)
  • Pour the wax into your candle and use a marker to hold the wick in the center of the candle.

Whipped Wax Topping

  • Weigh out the wax and fragrance oil.
  • Put the wax in a poring pot and place it on a double boiler.
  • Once the wax is fully melted, remove from heat.
  • Pour into a container that will be easier to mix in.
  • When the temperature is below the flash point of your fragrance oil, add the fragrance oil.
  • Mix and mix! You are going to want to give the wax a good mix every minute or so until you get a consistency that will hold it shape.
  • Cut the corner off of a baggie and insert piping tip.
  • Fill the baggie with your whipped wax.
  • Pipe the whipped wax onto the top of the candle.
  • Lightly dust the top of the candle with cinnamon.
  • Place a cinnamon stick into the whipped wax, so it is still sticking out on one side.

Chocolate Drizzle

  • Put a small amount of wax and candle colorant in the melting pot.
  • Melt on a double boiler.
  • Once melted, use a small spoon to drizzle the wax chocolate drizzle on your candle.
