World’s first edible candles are back just in time for Christmas stocking fillers

Not only do these candles burn just like any other candle, releasing the most delicious scent, you can eat them too. Yes, you read that right. It's an edible candle you can eat.

You are most likely now pulling the same face we did, one of pure confusion – asking how and why you’d eat a candle.

First up the most important thing to state is that this is NOT a regular wax candle, it’s an edible version made from a mixture of coconut oil and raw cocoa butte
r.

So that's the how. As for the why...why not?

Smith & Sinclair's edible candles

The £15 edible candles are back for a second year, after selling out in less than two hours last year! The Smith & Sinclair candles come in two fabulous flavours of Spiced Orange and Peppermint.

The ingredients of coconut oil and raw cocoa butte
r mean both flavours are 100 per cent vegan.

'Smith & Sinclair is on a mission to make Christmas more fun,' explains Emile Sinclair, Head of Innovation for Smith & Sinclair.

'We are delighted to be launching our edible candles once again. They captured the nation’s imagination last year and we’ve had a waiting list that’s grown all year round of people wanting to hear about the product making a comeback.'
