Beeswax burns long — expect twelve-plus hours out of each of these petite candles — so they are helpful to have on hand for winter storm power outages. They also smell great naturally, won’t release any weird chemicals into your home when you burn them, and make absolutely delightful last-minute holiday gifts.           

Makes 12 mini candles

Materials:

• 2-1/2 pounds clean beeswax or beeswax pastilles
