Tarts from leftover candles

I figured out an easy way to make use of the still-delicious-smelling end of candles, once the wick burns out.

You need:
old candles
dedicated ice cube tray
a way to melt the wax
a freezer
tart warmer so you can melt your tarts

Step 1 Melt the wax

Melt the wax.  You can use a candle warmer (same as a coffee cup warmer), or the burner of a drip coffee pot.  

Wax smoke is bad for you.  Wax can catch fire.  Don't heat too hot.  Use a double-boiler if you have to use the stove.

i have done something similar but i shredded paper and mixed it in with the wax when i poured it into the ice cube molds and use them as fire lighters

Very good and intelligent way of reusing rests

Two thumbs up, thanks for sharing :)

Very clever re-use!

I'd not heard of these kind of tarts before, I'd call the castings billets or ingots.
