Learn how to make a rich, luxurious Dark Chocolate & Cacao scented candle using soy wax and a decadent fragrance blend. In this video, I walk through preparing the container, melting the wax, measuring and blending the fragrance oils, pouring the candle, and allowing it to cure for the strongest possible scent.

For 8 ounces of soy wax, use an 8% fragrance load: 18.1 grams total fragrance oil. Blend 12.7 grams of Dark Chocolate fragrance oil with 5.4 grams of Cacao fragrance oil. Add the fragrance at approximately 185°F, stir gently for two minutes, and pour at around 135°F. Allow the finished candle to cure for 7–14 days before burning. Always use candle-safe fragrance oils, follow your wax supplier’s recommendations, and conduct a proper burn test before selling or gifting your candles.
