A candle ignition system for substantially simultaneously lighting multiple candles (4) includes a fuse (12) of a fast-burning material and intermediate igniter members (14) extending transversely from the fuse. The igniter membe rs (14) have a first portion (16) for connection to the fuse and a second porti on (18) for attachment to candle wicks (6). In one embodiment, the igniter members have a large surface area in relation to their thickness. The ignite r member may be separate from the fuse and formed into a loop (20) for passing a fuse therethrough, or may be integral or unitary with the fuse. Preferably, the igniter members fold over and sandwich the candle wicks (6) between the folds. Wax or other tacky substance is used for attachment to the wicks. The first portion (16) may be a fast-burning portion relative to the second portion (18) which may burn slower, or the second portion (18) may burn hott er than the first portion.
