    I found this glass at the thrift store a few weeks ago, it was perfect for a chocolate candle. I tried to make the candle wax as close to the color of Dark Chocolate as I could....I mean if you can't have dark chocolate, why bother.
    Last year I collected margarita glasses, the ones with stems in the shape of a cactus, and made candles in those as gifts.
    I didn't keep one of those for myself, so this one is all mine.

    Definately looks good enough to eat Toni. :-D I take it that the chocolates underneath the glass are real and not made of wax?

    Ooops, I forgot to explain that the chocolates around the base of the glass are fake. They are rubbery and attached to the glass, that's why I thought it was perfect for a chocolate candle.

    Wow you're kidding me. Those chocolates can't be fake can they?!
