Walsh & Baker Chocolate Fudge Cake Candle Review

Another review of the candles from my recent Poundland trip and these are pure lush! Walsh & Baker Chocolate Fudge Cake CandleLove these. Two candles for a £1 so yep folks that’s one candle for 50p and these are chocolate fudge ones. Nom nom nom!

These pots smell like chocolate fudge cake gooeyness. You know the cakes that make you put on about 10lbs by just looking at them well this smell is all that in a candle and YOU CANNOT EAT IT! Possibly the most frustrating candle I’ve had in a long time, I did treat myself to an Walsh & Baker Chocolate Fudge Cake Candlesapple pie instead. It sort of helped with my craving for rich chocolate cake. Sort of.

They are cute little pots and like the M&M candles review that I did, you can reuse the little pots for other candles. See these just get better and better.

The main issue with these is you’ll be hungry until about an hour after you’ve blown out the wick. The smell is so intense and it lingers. There are other scents in this collection but I’ll need to get some low calorie snacks in!

M&M Milk Chocolate and Tarty Pear Candles Review

I don’t think I’ve ever written the word ‘tarty’ in a blog title before…

Anyway on a recent trip to Poundland and I got heaps of bargains, and amongst my M&M Milk Chocolate and Tarty Pear Candleslittle haul I also got these two lovely candles which are up first to be reviewed.

Both of these were a pound (doh!) and I’ve seen on eBay and on Amazon that they sell for about £5 on both of those sites. See? Bargain.

M&M Milk Chocolate CandleThey are both really fragranced but they are not overly sweet. In fact the chocolate one even managed to get himself asking “What is that one? Is it chocolate?”

ZING!

I think he then took more interest because I said they were M&M candles…

Both of these are good quality, fragranced candles and for the novelty value alone as I know lots of people who love the M&M chocolates these are a great gift.

I’ve since been back and bought a load which might not make it for gifts…

Yankee Candle Autumn Collection

I can’t believe summer is over, well it’s not like we ever really had one, but you know what I mean.

I actually don’t mind that it wasn’t a super hot summer because I prefer autumn/winter time. Cooler weather means woolly cardis, the smell of crisp brisk air, leaves changing to beautiful vibrant colours and the comfort of evenings spent snuggled up on the sofa with lots of warm blankets and getting to light lots of candles earlier in the day…pure bliss.

Have you tried this season’s new heavenly scented candles from Yankee Candle?

Woodwick At The Beach Candle Review

Before I start this review for this Woodwick candle I should point out I have had zero luck with any previous wood wick candles. This only made Sam more nervous about me doing the review, when I admitted to her that I wasn’t keen on them. My previous experiences have included the crackling sound to be so loud I found it stressful and distracting, definitely not the soothing experience that I was led to believe would happen. Also the burnt edges from the wick would fall into my candle and I was forever picking bits out. Read More
