Once you’re done with the glow of everyone cheering you on, singing you happy birthday, and the candles are snuffed, it’s time to lean over, pick up that candle…and eat it. Edible candles are changing the birthday game. No longer will wasted wax candles be relegated to sadly sitting in a puddle of leftover frosting; these unique birthday candles have a dual purpose as food.

Let Them Eat Candles isn’t just a punny way to decorate your cake, these ingenious candles are made of totally edible, premium chocolate. A delicious way to celebrate, they’re as beautiful as they are delicious, imprinted with boldly colored candy designs. The candles can even be customized, perfect for corporate events or wedding monograms.

Okay so don’t just pop the whole thing in your mouth, unfortunately you can’t eat the wick since it’s made of a paraffin-coated natural cotton, but the rest of the candle is good to go.

These fun birthday toppers come packaged in threes, pushing quality over quantity. The edible candles only have a one minute flame life, so sing your heart out then eat up. After all, heat is unforgiving when it comes to chocolate.

Since these are edible, I can imagine using them on just about anything. Cake is just the beginning – why not place one of these on a well sliced piece of cheese and celebrate a job well done, or top off a crusty baguette, let the candle melt all the way down and throw a carb party? The possibilities are edibly endless.
