Just a warning for anyone who wants to make these and use them as candles, be careful of what type of glass you use. If it is not heat safe glass, the heat from the candle can actually shatter the glass. I bought a candle from a regular store and third time using it, it shattered. Not saying this happens all the time, but i deff think this would be cute just as decoration!

[@arpitchanand1970]

Marisa DeAngelis thanks!

[@cassandrecallanta]

Marisa DeAngelis I was thinking the same thing in regards to the glass being heat safe!

[@IrishTactical]

Agree with you, Marisa. Heat-safe glass always for candle pouring. Please, no wineglasses: the glass is not necessarily heat safe and can shatter on you. Good observation!

[@makanivalur]

Thanks for the warning, didn’t think of that!

[@tyhjatauludiy4826]

This, there's a real risk

[@abnormal_asian5320]

Now, instead of drinking away my problems, I can _burn_ them!

[@kelseycoca]

Painfully_ Logical why not both?!

[@abnormal_asian5320]

Kelsey Carbary that's fair

[@justwatching5434]

Pfff my god

[@manyagoyal3835]

Painfully_ Logical your name suits your comment

[@abnormal_asian5320]

Manya Goyal :) it’s changed now

[@IrishTactical]

Okay: candle maker weighing in. My only real concern with this is the melting of the candle gel on direct heat. It's always better to use a double-boiler technique. Other than that, their technique is good. Always prepare for a re-pour (keep extra wax in case a divot forms around the wick as it solidifies). But best practice to add your fragrances off the heat (which they did). All-around good job.

[@fbiagentfrank]

Rosy Rondot The beating the wax with a hand mixer seems like the biggest pain to clean up. I mean cleaning the mixer after that:( Yikes!

[@artoriapendragon9886]

you mean to melt it in a receptacle which you place in hot water, like how you melt chocolate?

[@IrishTactical]

Exactly, Artoria.

[@artoriapendragon9886]

and what do you mean by "repour"? keep some of the melted candle gel on hand?

[@artoriapendragon9886]

thanks :)

[@upasha8200]

This is so creative!

[@akist5788]

[@angelaholmes470]

Can you please list the different glasses that was used? Which type of dyes did you use? Also when making the two color gel candles, how long do you wait until pouring in the second color gel?

[@reannastorm1405]

Lord knows I won't do this. But, man, wasn't it amazing?

[@sakvra1913]

Very creative

[@alohaisland9999]

I just want to dive into a tub of those jelly ice cubes

[@manjubhagvat5576]

[@atelophob_ia]

could you also possibly do this with those jelly jolly rancher candles?

[@valliemcc8352]

I've never heard of these before, and I actually thought that these were legitimate drinks 🤣

[@ceciliaaliganga3871]

It says in the title "Drink Candles" then Imma just start drinking some candles then YEETT😂

[@journeystorm8585]

Where do you get the scented oil for these? Also do you use "Lime" scented for the "Margarita"?

[@unicorn-nm3st]

wow. just wow

[@shyamalpillai4538]

So cool

[@magicworld5199]

Awesome

[@nadiann5936]

I thought it said “Dank Candles”

[@dumbgayenby]

Pineapple
Omg
Dank candles
I’m crying

[@earlyu7906]

Nice.

[@markesquivelarvizu6942]

Don’t the cubes and the drink part have the same melting point? What keeps the cubes in their form?

[@loreenalabad300]

One more question what gel wax did you use

[@ivonepereira4806]

What kind of wicks can you use with these gel candles as I can't seem to find the zinc core ones? Which ones can you use instead please? Thanks

[@sradhasiju9498]

i accidentally read the title as drink candies OMG LOL

[@namiboii5492]

Same

[@Gerard-oo8os]

Same

[@sugarlyrose4067]

same.

[@gabrielle5089]

_Please_ do not drink the candles.

[@leya400]

Same

[@heimdalseesall6610]

Can I use candle gel along with regular soy wax? Also can I use candle gel to give, let's say strawberry wax melts, a candied look? Or will it just melt the wax and bleed the color?

[@isabellahfwang]

this is the only buzzed vid without a shit ton of hate comments lmao

[@romeosantosfan9]

At first I didn’t see the thumbnail and I thought you were gonna make edible candles or something XD

[@missbluerose5628]

When I saw the clear candle gel was squishy I died😂

[@anasmith5099]

You could also probably re-use old candles for some of these to, not just buy supplies

[@Chuzz1]

I need the SONG!!!

[@kanelipulla6934]

choose your glasses VERY carefully for this one! lot's of glasses meant for those drinks can't actually handle the hotness of the wax melting(thats about 80degrees celcius)

[@kristinedemarra6778]

Ohhh!!!!! I thought it said drink candies

[@lizakoshyfan2180]

I need to trick my older sister with this.

[@sarahcp13]

another forbidden snack

[@christineplant9453]

Does it need to be special glass?

[@journeystorm8585]

Does anyone know the best place to get the "Amber Candle Dye"?

[@sarahosuna9082]

If I were to work at a bar ( which I won’t) I would trick anyone with these 🕯 candles 🍺🍻🥂🍷🥃🍸🍹

[@Khadjs1804]

How did you make the (yellow buttom) to create that tiny bubbles like sparkling water?

[@chesebals]

I have never heard of candle gel before

[@tinalugaila182]

Can you please tell me what brand of Candle Dye that you use?

[@Samantha_Pajarillo]

More plsss

[@cwsdgfvcsscv]

But what fragrance oil do you use

[@faithsauceda6033]

Yo tell me why this made me thirsty 😭

[@mslarlo]

what wicking did you use for these drinks

[@ebmhen]

Where did you purchase the candle wicks for your tall (Beer Mug and Tequila Sunrise) glasses and and what type and size are they? Can you supply the link if possible? Thanks in advance.

[@samanthakoo7872]

Can u pls pls make bubble bath mixture 4 ways

[@arelic6087]

Samantha Koo why 4 ways??

[@gygyuri2194]

That is a very specific request

[@anastaciastjuste5574]

Question would the beer was spill since it’s outside the container??
