Heads up, sweet-tooth! Those wax melts may look like tiny pastries, cookies, or scoops of ice cream, but they are candles — not snacks. They’re made from wax and fragrance oils, not edible ingredients, and should never be eaten.

How to enjoy them safely:

• Use only as directed in a wax melter or warmer.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets who might try to nibble.

• Don’t heat or inhale directly; discard if anyone attempts to ingest.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from food prep areas.

If ingestion happens, contact Poison Control or seek medical attention immediately and keep the product packaging handy to share ingredients. Have fun smelling, not snacking!
