How to Make Wax Chunks for Candles

Tuesday October 24, 2006
Chunk CandlesOne of the most popular and widely varied "varieties" of candles is the chunk candle. Chunk votives, chunk pillars, chunk containers. White chunks, colored chunks, multi-colored chunks. You name it - there are practically limitless possibilities. But to make chunk candles, you first need some chunks. (We'll get into the "overpour" in another step-by-step.) There are lots of ways to make chunks. From just chopping up or chipping off bits of old candles...to making them from scratch, they'll mostly all work. But after lots of experimentation, I've found a recipe/method that I think works really well.
