You Will Need:
8 oz Soy Wax
0.75 oz Fragrance Oil
Additional tools:
Double boiler
Thermometer
Candy Molds (we used Wilton 3D Skulls & Eyeballs)
Parchment paper
To create plain, uncolored tarts:
In a double boiler, on medium heat, melt soy wax until liquid. Add fragrance (we used Witches Brew Fragrance Oil) and allow wax to cool slightly to just above 120F (the melting point of soy wax). Pour wax into mold and allow to fully cool. Do not pour wax too hot or it will melt your mold. When wax has cooled, release your tarts from the mold and package. For your convenience, we offer tart/melt warning labels.To create spooky eyeballs:
Measure 1 ml black iron oxide in 30 ml melted soy wax and stir well to incorporate. Using a disposable pipette, transfer enough "black" wax to fill the pupil of the eyeball mold. Allow the pupil to harden.
Measure 1 ml red mica pigment powder in 30 ml melted soy wax and stir well to incorporate. Using a disposable pipette, transfer enough "red" wax to fill the irises of the eyeball mold. Allow the iris to harden.
Fill the remaining portion of the eyeball mold with uncolored melted soy wax and allow to harden overnight. It may be easier to unmold highly detailed tarts by placing the mold into a freezer for a few minutes first.
To create scary skulls:
Fill skull mold with uncolored melted soy wax and allow to harden overnight. It may be easier to unmold highly detailed tarts by placing the mold into a freezer for a few minutes first. Once skulls are released from their mold, use a cotton swab dabbed in black iron oxide to highlight the eye and nasal cavities and to bring out the definition in the teeth. We also highlighted areas that stuck to our mold to give them more of an "aged" look.
To Use: Place a tart (or two) into an approved wax tart burner and enjoy! These tarts will be slightly smaller than standard wax tarts on the market.
