Taffy Puller

His jowls trembled, and he leaned forward into the microphone. "Don't you dare bail!" he said. "I am so furious with people who leave this church! ... What on earth kind of conviction is that? What kind of patty-cake, taffy-pull experience is that?"

Was Jeffrey R. Holland right? Are you a taffy puller?

I sure am! And when I light "Taffy Puller", my room smells like an old-fashioned candy shop on the beach: sweet and tart, fruity, and nostalgic.

This candle smells so good, you'll forget "taffy puller" was supposed to be an insult!

CANDLE INSPIRATION

People who leave Mormonism are at the bottom of the barrel in the eyes of Elohim the Great and Powerful.

We're in Satan's clutches. We're easily offended. We're lazy learners and lax disciples. We're willing to give up our families because we just want so badly to sin. (I do love tea, a lot...) The King Follett discourse says we're bloodthirsty.

And we're taffy pullers!

We know this because Apostle of the Lord and special witness of Jesus Christ Jeffrey R. Holland stood up at a Tempe, Arizona stake conference in 2016 and told a crowd that we were. (And the leaders of the church cannot lead us astray, so it must be true...)

After many nights of searching, pondering, and praying, we're still not quite sure what it means to be a taffy puller. But whatever it means, if you're happy to have left Mormonism, then light up this candle and let your taffy-pulling light so shine! ✨

QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY

All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.

Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.

Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!

DISCREET PACKAGING

We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.
