How to Make Edible Brown Butter Candles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Melt butter and add ingredients.<\/strong> Melt butter in a large pan, then add your garlic and herbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edible Candle Recipe Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep Candles Refrigerated until it's time to use them<\/strong>. Because of the garlic and fresh herbs, these candles are not shelf stable and need to be refrigerated after every use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candles are meant to be solid.<\/strong> Before lighting your candle to enjoy, ensure it is solid, so it is not a pool of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candle size.<\/strong> Make many small or medium-sized candles to start. A large butter candle with, let's say, 1 pound of butter is possible, but it might be a little expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play with flavor.<\/strong> No need to follow the rules or make the same edible butter candles over and over. Consider making candle flavors like garlic butter, lemon butter, herb butter, jalapeno butter, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tablescape. <\/strong>Give your table a new look by making these edible candles to add light to the table while flavoring your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
