Yield wax melts

Equipment

Knife.
Kitchen Scale.
Double boiler.
Spoon.
Silicone mold.
Air-tight container.

Ingredients

8 oz beeswax
4 oz coconut oil

Instructions

Chop your beeswax block or bars into small pieces to weigh or weigh your pellets.
Weigh your coconut oil.
Set up your double boiler with 1 inch of water in the bottom pan. Bring to a boil.
In the top pan, add your beeswax and coconut oil. Stir to combine.
Carefully pour your melted beeswax and coconut oil into each shape in your mold. Fill them to the top!
For best results, allow the mold to sit overnight at room temperature to let the wax cool.
Carefully remove each wax melt from the mold. To make it easier, move the sides a bit to gently pull the edges away from the wax. Slow and steady so you don’t crack them!
Store in an air-tight container until you are ready to use them!

Notes

If you don't want to buy a bunch of fancy-shaped silicone molds, you can also use ice cube trays! (Silicone ice cube trays will work best.)

If using a wax warmer that requires a tealight to warm the wax melts, I highly recommend using a beeswax candle or unscented soy wax candle. This will ensure there are no added fragrances overpowering the natural scent from your candle warmers!

Gently tug the sides of the mold around each shape before removing them to ensure nothing is sticking too tightly.

Be patient and work slowly as you take your candle melts out of the mold to avoid cracking.

Be careful when working with melted wax. Keep some paper towels nearby to wipe up any spills before they harden! Don't burn yourself!

Store in an air-tight container in a cool dark place.

Glass jars are a great option!
