Dessert Candles That Smell Like the Real Thing: Meet Buttersweet Candles

Real talk: I make candy. My brother makes candles. And his candles smell like the desserts I wish I could freeze-dry.

Buttersweet Candles are dessert candles — scented candles built to smell like the real thing, not that fake "candle aisle" smell. All eight of them live right here on YumNumsCandy.com:

  • Banana Pudding ($30) — the best seller. Creamy banana, vanilla wafers and whipped cream. It's 100% soy wax, 14 oz, hand-poured, and topped with banana and cookie wax embeds that look good enough to eat. (Don't.)
  • Sugar Rush ($27) — a sweet, fruity candy-shop scent in a jar.
  • Chocolate Chip ($27) — warm cookies and melted chocolate.
  • Strawberry Frosted Donut ($27) — fresh donut, strawberry frosting.
  • Peach Rings ($27) — that juicy peach candy scent, sweet and bright.
  • Strawberry Cheesecake ($25) — creamy cheesecake, ripe strawberries.
  • Birthday Cake ($25) — vanilla cake and sprinkles. Smells like a party.
  • Berry Waffles ($25) — warm waffles and sweet berries.

Every one of them is zero calories and all cravings — light one and the whole room smells like a bakery and a candy shop had a meeting.

Why candles on a candy site?

Because dessert is dessert. I sell the kind you eat; he makes the kind you light. Same family, same obsession with making a room smell (or taste) like something real. If you're grabbing Shapow Sticks for yourself, a Banana Pudding candle is the gift that makes you look like you planned it.

He even has his own site now — ButtersweetCandles.com — go ahead and type it in. You'll land right back here, on the full Buttersweet Candles collection. That's by design. 😉

Candles ship straight from the maker, separately from candy orders — so grab your candle, grab your candy, and both show up at your door.
