An array of breakable wax melts is provided. The array includes a first breakable wax melt having a first shape that corresponds with a first theme. The array also includes a second breakable wax melt having a second shape that is different from the first shape, wherein the second shape corresponds to a second theme. The first and second themes are each selected from the group consisting of: a perfume mixture, holiday, season, a graphic on a container for containing the first or second breakable wax melts, and combinations thereof. An array of containers for containing the breakable wax melts is also provided.

A method of manufacturing self-filling candles uses a pour table and with cylindrical cavities and removable, insertable cores. The self-filling candle fills itself with melted wax to form a second candle for additional burning. The shape of the self-filling candle generally includes a hollow cylindrical candle body with the internal cavity having a solid bottom wall and extending upward to a top opening. The candle body is made of a single wax. A first wick is spirally located along the inside surface of the cylindrical sidewall, with its inner surface exposed. As the first wick is burned, melted wax pools in the cavity to form a second candle. A second wick, e.g., a wooden wick, is positioned in the bottom surface of the cavity, and is burned once the second candle has been formed. The manufacturing method is capable of making multiple self-filling candles with the first and the second wicks molded in place without the need for additional labor.

A candle conversion device is provided that can allow for complete melting and conversion of candle wax to produce a new wax object or candle. The device can include a thermal sleeve couplable with a candle support having a candle engagement member and a drainage passage, which can direct melted wax toward a wax mold having an inner wax cavity with a shape profile to which the melted wax conforms, the thermal sleeve and the candle support configured to conduct and/or radiate thermal energy received from the candle flame between portions of the device and candle.

A candle or candle composition is provided made from only edible materials and is formed from palatably desirable compositions. Cocoa butter and chocolate at a ratio of between approximately three parts to approximately five parts cocoa butter to one part chocolate provides a composition that is moldable and capable of being formed into a self supporting candle structure that is capable of being lit and maintaining a flame. At the same time, the unignited portions, when melted, creates a pool of melted, edible chocolate flavor material. Inclusion of trace amounts of sugar and vanilla improve the palatability and gastronomic effect of the melted material.

A body oil/body butter candle having soy wax, coconut oil, body butter, and fragrance. After heating and blending each ingredient the composition/mixture is poured into a container having a wick and cooled until the composition has a partially solid soft butter consistency. By lighting the wick the composition is heated to a liquid skin safe state.

A candle with an embedded item and methods for manufacturing same are disclosed. A method for manufacturing a candle having an embedded item can include providing a first set of items of a first value and a second set of items of a second value different from the first value, combining the two sets to create a third set, and distributing the items of the third set among a set of candles, one item per candle, where the presence, nature, or value of the item within the candle is obscured. The method can further include selling the candles for a first price, wherein, the presence of the embedded item, the nature of the embedded item, the value of the embedded item, or the value of the embedded item relative to the first price is not known to the purchaser. The embedded item can comprise an object redeemable for a prize.

Disclosed is a candle making apparatus including an electric appliance for a process of sequentially melting, mixing and holding the constituents of a container candle inside a jug and at a molten temperature until a user is ready to pour the melt into a container. Typically the constituents of such candles include vegetable wax, soy products, vegetable oils, fats or fatty acids. They are melted at a higher temperature, then mixed, and cooled so that volatile ingredients can be added at a lower temperature while the mixture remains melted, and is further stirred. The process is controlled by a microprocessor. A visual interface displays progress and accepts user input.

Kits and methods are provided for filling or refilling new or used candle vessels. The kits and methods are designed to offer a viable, convenient, easy-to-use, and environmentally conscious product and/or option for consumers to reuse, repurpose, fill or refill new or existing candle vessels. A candle making kit apparatus includes a wax assembly having a refill wax stored in a recyclable container, and a materials assembly including one or more materials for use with the refill wax. The kits can be made with eco-friendly and recycled materials and, after use, the kits can be recycled or reused to lessen the burden of our landfills and on our environment.

The aspects presented herein provide wax formulations and candles having improved release characteristics from containers.
