How much paraffin is used in chocolate for dipping candy?
I use Household Parrafin wax -- the kind that is sold in grocery stores with the canning supplies, in the same section with the glass jars used for canning fruits and vegetables. I have used this for many years in the chocolate coating for my Christmas peanut butter balls. If you research the use of parrafin in candy online, some postings say it is perfectly safe for consumption and others advise against it. I'm not sure -- it IS a petroleum product! Eating a lot of wax is probably not the healthiest thing --- but those peanut butter balls are pretty and shiny and YUMMY.

Is it safe to eat Gulf Wax household paraffin wax in such items as candy buckeyes?
My family has been using gulf wax for years to harden chocolate on candies. No ill effects have been experienced.AnswerYes. A lot of chocolate you buy, especially the formed chocolate like Easter bunnies and santas, contains wax. It's what makes them shine and it keeps them hard. As a chef, I mix a little bit of wax into most of my chocolate, especially if I am dipping things into it or making shapes. Paraffin wax is non-digestable, meaning that it actually passes right through the body with no part of it being absorbed.
