A decorative candle (10) comprising a container (12) that defines an interior chamber (18). Disposed within the interior chamber is a candle core (20) sized relative to the container such that a cavity is formed between the candle core and the container. At least one component (30) is disposed within the cavity in abutting contact with the candle core and the container. The component (30) is encapsulated by a mixture (32) that has a melting point lower than the candle core (20) and the component such that neither the candle core (20) nor the component (30) melt when the molten mixture is poured within the cavity. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the candle core (20) is a paraffin wax candle core and the mixture (32) is a paraffin/petrolatum mixture. Furthermore, the component (30) may be a gelatinous component formed from a mineral oil gel.
