Here is another Valentine’s candle project that I thought of while taking a picture of the Hershey kisses mold. This is a great idea especially if you send out samples.
How can anyone resist a chunky Valentine’s kisses votive candle? I definitely couldn’t and I also like fragrance oils that grace the chocolate realm. My favorite chocolate scent is campfire s’mores.
Chunky Kisses Votive Directions:
Items needed:
- Votive metal or plastic mold
- Votive Wick Pin
- Hershey Kisses Mold
- Wax
- Fragrance Oil of choice
- Melt your wax add your fragrance oil, dye and any additives
- Spray your votive mold with mold release spray
- Set aside some wax colored to your version of Hershey kisses (dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate)
- Fill up your tart cup all the way up with your wax Hershey kisses
- The rest of the wax you can either color it red, pink or white or do all 3 by pouring the white first, add dye for pink, then make the wax darker for red. I colored mine red and white.
- Make sure the wax you are about to pour has cooled off or you may melt down your Hershey kisses
- Let the wax set up
- Pull the votives out of the mold
- Place the wick in through the wick pin hole
Chunky Kisses Votive
This candle making project is quick, easy and a lot of fun. A nice way to dress up your votive candles in a Valentine’s theme. I think I like the Hershey kisses submersed in white wax better than the red. What do you think?
This is my first time trying to make this project. As you can see I did not wait for the wax to cool down before I poured it on top of the Hershey kisses. Have to make a mistake every once in awhile. =)

I really really like these! I wish I was more on the ball to make these for this upcoming Valentines Day but definately on my list for next year. Great idea and very imaginative!!
OH and I like the white votive better as well
Hi Charlene,
These were so much fun to make. I have one of those votive trays that will do 12 votives at once. The time goes into waiting for the hershey kisses wax harden so you can get those out. Even then it still is a fast and easy project.
Hope you tackle this for next year. You could put this concept in with your spring line.
