Halloween Character Candles

Directions

1. Set your Halloween character silicone molds on a level work surface. If the molds have a wick hole, place a wick in each one.
2. Melt your wax flakes (paraffin or soy) in a double boiler or microwave until it reaches 175°F (80°C).
3. Mix in your chosen candle dye (orange, black, or purple) and, if desired, a few drops of fragrance oil. Stir slowly to incorporate without creating bubbles.
4. Carefully pour the melted wax into the prepared molds, taking care not to spill or overfill.
5. Let the wax cool and harden completely, which will take about 2 hours.
6. Gently remove the finished candles from the molds and snip the wicks down to 1/4 inch in length.
