Let’s now go over one of the most important pieces of information about this recipe: the ingredients you need for edible butter candles.

Important Ingredients for Edible Butter Candles

There are two essential ingredients you need to make any kind of edible butter candle.

1. Natural Food-Grade Candle Wicks

To make candles, you need candle wicks. But not just any candle wicks! You might be able to find candle wicks at any hobby store, but we need food-grade candle wicks that are made with natural ingredients. Most candle wicks sold at stores are safe to make regular candles with and burn. But since we are making candles that we are going to eat, the candle wicks mustn’t have bad chemical ingredients for our bodies.

🌟 My Pick for Candle Wicks 🌟

Hemp & Organic Beeswax Candle Wicks 8 inch, Phinicco

This candle wick is made from hemp and beeswax, allowing the candle wich to burn slower and stay sturdy and strong. And that makes it a perfect candle wick to use on a butter candle!

2. Butter

Then, of course, you need butter to make the butter candles! You need wax to make candles, but we won’t need wax to make the butter candle. Butter will cause the candle to burn while making the whole place smell so cozy and buttery.

Any kind of butter could work for this butter candle recipe, so choose the butter you like. As for me, I’m vegan, so I chose some delicious vegan butter. 😋

I chose vegan butter, so my butter candle has lighter color than regular butter. It’s divine 🤤
