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.
