Hot Cocoa & Cream Bath & Body Works Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: Bath & Body Works
Type: 14.5oz large 3 wick candle
Fragrance: Hot Cocoa & Cream
Scent Strength: Medium/Light
First impression of Hot Cocoa & Cream:
Mmmm!!! Hot Cocoa & Cream literally smelled like Hot Cocoa & Cream!! Not kidding. I smelled smooth milk chocolate and cream and I wanted to eat the wax! You know you have a winner when you want to eat the candle.
Here is the scent description from the bottom of the candle:
Decadent milk chocolate, fresh steamed milk, mini marshmallows.
YUM!!!! I keep putting my nose up to the candle and inhaling this yummy scent. Seriously… the wax smells like creamy milk chocolate with vanilla cream or marshmallows. Take your pick. I’m in love. Now let’s see how this candle performs!
I lit this candle in my master bedroom and waited for the magic to begin, which took about 20 minutes. The aroma…. a very subtle milk chocolate scent with the perfect touch of marshmallow cream. It was very authentic and yummy. I really-really liked it and found it to be one of the most authentic cocoa scents I’ve ever tried. Two thumbs up.
Strength – I would rate this candle a 6 in a large room so this candle is definitely better suited to a medium to smaller rooms. I’m sure it would go up to a 7/8 in a medium size room. 9/10 in smaller rooms.
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned pretty good. No wick issues until it got to the halfway point… after that, the wicks turned into small little flames. It did still burn okay but just very slowly.
Closing to my review:
Loved Hot Cocoa & Cream and would totally purchase it again. I think next time I’ll stick to smaller rooms to burn it in for maximum scent throw.
If you’ve been searching for an authentic chocolate scent… definitely go smell this candle next time you’re near a Bath & Body Works store. I bet you’ll walk away with one or two of these candles. It truly did smell good enough to eat.
Happy candle hunting!
