When the candle flame is burning, the flame heats the wax which melts it, the wick pulls in the liquid wax into the flame as fuel (this is why the wick doesn't just burn away). Think of a napkin soaking up water. The wax then burns in the flame and "disappears".

How does a candle disappear totally when burned?
Definitely it will disappear if the wax used to make the candle is pure and it burned properly like putting the candle in some container or something like that. What I mean is if the flame completely utilizes the content of the candle then the mass will definitely disappear. If you want you can put the wax of unburned in a container and then put a good thread in it and burn. Of course above all the candle should not contain any impurities. Hope this explains.

What happens to the wax as the mass of the candle gets less?
Just like logs on a campfire or oil in an old-fashioned lamp, wax in a candle is actually fuel for the flame itself. The candle continues burning as long as there is wax to be melted & soaked into the wick. As it burns, the wax oxidizes into water vapor, CO2, and, of course, light. Wax continues to melt around the flame and soak up the wick to be used as fuel, causing the candle appear to "disappear" as we watch it burn.
