Can you use food coloring to dye Easter eggs?
Yes, you can dye candles with food coloring. Let's assume the candle is already white. If it's in a container of glass, simply place the whole thing into hot water and wait for the candle to melt. Be careful not to allow water to mix with the melted wax. I find it easiest to pull out the wick while doing this. Put a few drops of whatever color you'd like into the melted wax and mix well. Place the wick back into the container and allow the wax to cool. cWhen solid, the whole candle will now be a different color than before. I wouldn't try this on a stick candle, as they don't have a container and the reshaping the candle will present it's own challenges.
