I live in Kansas and we've had some extremely bitter temperatures along with freezing rain, snow, and wind over the last several days. I'm going to make a few of these, thanks for the great tutorial.

I made a bunch of these in various sizes from the size you have in the video up to a very large jar I have 4 candles in. I tested several 4 candle jars and besides light it gives off a bit of heat and kept the room temp stable.

You have to try this! I am amazed at how well it works. After burning the candle 5 hours, the Crisco candle did not even hardly go down. If I was only using the taper candle, it would have burnt clear the the bottom.

(November 2024). Emergency preparedness has been our priority since 2020. Lately I’ve been looking at candles and remembered the crisco candle thing. Thanks so much for the demonstration!

Brilliant ! So much easier than using vegetable OIL :-) . Make sure to keep the wick correctly trimmed so that it burns nicely and evenly with a small flame, and does not smoke.

I have several boxes of long candles. Can I use those as well? What a great idea! I also love the idea of using clay pots as room warmers if power goes out! Just put it over a candle in a jar and place over candle with the hole of course on top. 😁

While the Crisco is still warm could you put in cinnamon sticks and orange peel 7:21

Yes, crisco found out how to sell and make us eat candles! Clever.

Thanks for sharing! We lost power for a week due to problems with our fuse oxygen. This would have saved me so much money!

Hey, thank you Sandy for letting us viewers know about the butter at Aldis. I picked some up the next day and, wow, what a bargain.

I’ve made so many of them Big, small, & little for bedroom from CRISCO . Love ❤️ them got the mason jars from the good will store. Also cupcake 🧁 pan to put tea lights I also used terror cotta pots, with tea lights under them upside down on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Be safe, cover the hole with a penny. Happy holidays everyone 🎉

This is a great idea!! I made emergency candles for all my family for Christmas this year for there vehicles. I used soy wax and small paint cans, but this is awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Great video and detailed explanations. THANK YOU!

Thanks for this video! I read that Crisco candles produce a lot of unhealthy sooty smoke and that was my experience when I made these candles, but I am absolutely thrilled that candle wax can be melted in the microwave for no-mess candle making. So, I ordered soy wax on Amazon and am so excited to make more. Thanks again for this tip!
