Magic Cookie Bar Yankee Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: Yankee Candle
Type: 22oz large candle
Fragrance: Magic Cookie Bar – Cookie Swap Collection
Scent Strength: Medium in a small room
First impression of Magic Cookie Bar:
I think Magic Cookie Bar might be my favorite of the three candles I’ve tried so far in Yankee’s Cookie Swap collection. It smells heavenly!! The wax smelled like a sweet caramel and chocolate cookie. Warm and yummy!!
Here is the scent description from Yankee’s website:
Layers of lusciousness – chocolate, coconut flakes, brown sugar, butterscotch, on and on!
I was close! My nose missed butterscotch and coconut flakes and if coconut is present in this scent once the candle is burning, I’ll be in heaven! I LOVE coconut in pretty much any bakery scent. It adds an extra layer of yum I just love!!
Let’s find out!
I lit this candle in my small powder room to start out and ended up leaving it there till the very end. I wanted maximum scent throw and definitely got that in a small room. Once the wick was lit, it took a good 4 hours to reach a full melt pool and the aroma….. so perfect! My entire bathroom smelled like a yummy baked cookie with chocolate and caramel notes. I still had a hard time picking out coconut and butterscotch but it didn’t matter… this scent itself was perfect just as it was. Just imagine a gooey warm baked cookie as the base – now add hints of creamy chocolate and chunks of melted caramel. Yeah!! YUM!!!!
Strength – For me, Yankee candles have their limitations and that means I never burn one in anything larger than a small bathroom. If I even try, I’m disappointed. With that being said, I would rate this candle an 8 out of 10 (strength wise) in a small room. I definitely got maximum scent throw and I loved it. Medium to larger rooms would not do as well so definitely stick to small rooms if you decide to try this candle.
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned great. No wick issues. Clean burning from beginning to end.
Closing to my review:
I loved, loved, LOVED Magic Cookie Bar from Yankee and will for sure purchase it again should this candle make a comeback. Bakery lovers… YUM!! Definitely give this one a try if you find it and if you do… burn it in a small room so you can really enjoy every bit of it.
Happy candle hunting!
