YES, unless its container specifically states otherwise, such as some candle-making waxes. Paraffin waxes such as Gulf Wax are commonly used in making chocolate candies. According to wikipedia, "Paraffin Wax is a shiny coating used in candy-making; although edible, it is nondigestible, passing right through the body without being broken down."

Paraffin wax
When paraffin wax is heated, it melts and turns into a liquid state. Upon further heating, the liquid paraffin wax can begin to vaporize and produce fumes. If the temperature is too high, paraffin wax can catch fire.
Generally, paraffin wax melts the fastest, as it has a lower melting point than other types of wax like beeswax or soy wax. The melting point of paraffin wax is around 130-150°F (54-65°C), which allows it to melt relatively quickly when heated.
Paraffin wax does not have a positive charge, as it is a neutral substance.
Candles are typically made of wax, such as paraffin or beeswax. When candles melt, the wax itself is what is liquifying. Some candles may also contain fragrances or dyes that may be released as the candle melts.

When paraffin wax melts, its solid crystals break down, turning into a liquid form. The melting point of paraffin wax is typically between 99°F and 131°F (37°C and 55°C), depending on the specific type of paraffin wax.
Paraffin wax candles have been around for centuries. Most candles are made from paraffin.

Americans typically refer to paraffin as "wax."
Paraffin wax is composed from solid hydrocarbons.
No, paraffin is not an acid. Paraffin is a type of hydrocarbon that is often used in wax products, but it does not have acidic properties.
Golf wax is the name of a brand of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is usually used for making candles, or for therapeutic wax for the skin.

I have made candles using paraffin wax. Paraffin oil is kerosene.
