Sweetheart Red Taper Candles

$9.38 ~~$14~~ In stock

Each hand dipped taper candle is dipped over 20 times by a dedicated craftsperson at Mole Hollow Candles, using a technique that has been in place since their founding in 1969. This technique, combined with their proprietary blend of waxes, is what creates the unique Spun Finish - a distinct linen-like visual texture - on each taper.

Each standard size taper candle is dripless and smokeless when burned under normal conditions. ⅞" diameter tapers should fit any standard sized candleholder. If you need a little extra security, try our sticky wax.

The wax is surprisingly substantial and drips beautifully—you can tell these were dipped by hand. They burned evenly for hours without smoking.

Elizabeth U. ★★★★★ Oct 20, 2026

I love the rich, deep red color—it’s exactly what I wanted for a romantic dinner setting. The hand-dipped finish is noticeably smoother than cheaper candles I’ve used, and they burn without dripping if you keep them out of drafts.

The even burn on these is no joke—they lasted through a full dinner party without any dripping. The deep red color is exactly what I was hoping for, rich and classic.
