I used to love the smell of [Hershey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-hot-chocolate-bomb)’s hot chocolate milk as a kid. It was always a lot of fun to drink, and kept me warm on cold nights. I usually don’t have time to drink it now since I’m so busy, but I still love the smell.

With the Hershey’s Syrup Chocolate Scented Candle, anyone can enjoy the wonderful smell of hot chocolate, without actually having to make any (but if you want to, go right ahead.) This 14.5 oz hand-poured wax candle is sure to bring back many childhood memories as the candle provides a wonderful scent that fills the room with chocolate delight. Keep in mind that it is not edible, but it’s still a wonderful candle to have.

Great for chocolate lovers everywhere!
