Yankee Candle White Chocolate Mint By ally10169 on Sep 24, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Jar candles are wonderful decor items for your home. I love having candles around my home to add a nice scent. I have tried numerous brands of jar candles and have found Yankee Candle to truly be the best of the best

Yankee Candle makes numerous sizes and styles from tartlets to votives to the 22oz jar. I currently have the 22oz jar in White Chocolate Mint. This cost me $22 at a Yankee Candle shop. It is supposed to burn 100-150 hours which is a long time making this a great value.

I like the way this candle burns. It burns very evenly. This allows you to really use the entire candle. Cheaper brands I have found burn unevenly, you end up with a well around the wick. When this happens often the well fills with the melted wax, it hardens and can cover up your wick. I have never burned a large jar candle in a cheaper brand to the end but I have many times with Yankee Candle.

The scent is also very strong with the Yankee Candle. It can fill a room with scent. Some cheaper candles you have to really get close to smell them but not with this one. The room is filled with a delicious chocolate mint. It smells like I am baking something delicious! The scent is strong enough to fill the room but not overbearing.

Overall I can't say enough about the Yankee Candle. It smells wonderful, burns evenly and lasts a long time!
