The Hot Cocoa Candle Making Kit is a sensory crafting experience that results in two incredibly realistic-looking hot cocoa candles. Using palm paraffin blend wax, dye chips, and scent, crafters layer and whip the wax to recreate the look of hot cocoa — right down to the frothy top. The kit includes two clear mugs, wax, dye chips, scent, and all the materials needed to complete the project. Crafters will need to supply a stovetop, a pot, tin foil, and a kitchen towel.

The active crafting session takes about one hour, and the finished candles need approximately three hours to set before they're ready to light or display. These make a wonderful handmade gift or a festive addition to any home — and the reaction when guests realize they're candles, not drinks, is priceless.
