The 3 Hanukkah blessings are for candle lighting. When you light the candles you say:
"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, Lord 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, Lord 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, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.)

Who asks why we light eight candles instead of seven candles on Hanukkah?
Hanukkah commemorates this miracle with the lighting of candles on eight successive nights. A Hanukkah menorah, with nine branches instead of the seven on a regular menorah, is used for this purpose. Eight of the candles are lit one by one on each night of Hanukkah, and the ninth candle, known as the shamash, is lit every night and used to kindle the other candles.The Beis Yosef has a famous question: Why do we light for eight nights, if the miracle of Hanukkah is that the oil lasted for seven extra nights? (There are many answers given to this question. Many as in over one hundred!)
