Abstract: A hidden message candle apparatus comprising a two part container divided into an inner portion and an outer portion, a candle, a message sheet, and a heat-activated covering in sticker form. The transparent top portion of the outer container forms a cylindrical gap, when the inner container is nested in the outer container, and a message imprinted sheet with the heat-activated covering is inserted therein. A candle or other heat source is disposed in the bottom part of the inner container. Upon activating the heat source, the heat from the heat source raises the temperature of the air in the cylindrical gap, and acts on the heat-activated ink sticker causing it to become transparent and reveal the message on the sheet.
