The 3 Hanukkah blessings are said when lighting the candles.
"Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech ha-olam a-sher ki-de-sha-nu be-mitz-vo-tav ve-tzi-va-nu le-had-lik ner Shel Cha-nu-kah." (Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light.)
You also recite:
"Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam she-a-sa ni-sim la-avo-te-nu ba-ya-mim ha-hem bi-zman ha-zeh." (Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of the universe, who performed miracles for our forefathers in those days, at this time.)
And on the first night only, you recite the prayer for a special occasion:
"Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam she-heche-ya-nu ve-ki-yi-ma-nu ve-higi-a-nu Liz-man ha-zeh." (Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.)

Why candles can't burn unless it's lit by a match?
I think you may mean the candles used in the Hanukkah menorah, or hanukiyah. they are customarily lit with a special candle known as a shamash ("helper") which has its own place on the menorah situated a little higher or lower than the others. The menorah, once lit, should be placed prominently in a window so that passers-by are reminded of the miracle in the Temple which gave rise to Hanukkah. The menorah must not be used for simple illumination. The shamash, however, can be and so it is kept with the menorah so that it can be used for light should the need arise.
