Inspired by [TikTok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-scented-candles)-viral [butter candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallow-candle), Papa Johns crafted edible candles for National Garlic Day that produce a pool of melted butter, offering diners a delicious way to dunk their pizza crusts. The limited-edition Garlic Butter Candle doubles as a dip and fills the air with the [pizza chain's signature garlic sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-garlic-combo-pizza).

The Garlic Butter Candles will be available in small batches online and packaged with a peel-back seal that reminds of the containers for pizza dips.

This savory edible candle taps into a craze that saw DIY enthusiasts making candles from scratch with softened or melted butter, and savory herbs and seasonings. This pre-made option for pizza lovers promises to be just as giftable and irresistible for Papa Johns fans who like dipping and dunking.
