If you don't mind me asking, what will you be using it for?

Many low end, inexpensive chocolate bars contain other oils as ‘fillers’ such as palm oil or canola oil and often times paraffin wax to make the chocolate sheen and increase the shelf life. Many times there is just a bit of cacao butter, wax and palm oil – making up the ‘oil’ content of the chocolate.
Yes, paraffin wax is a common chocolate and candy additive to inexpensive chocolates because it does not require the chocolate to be properly tempered. Tempering is a tricky ‘trade-secret’ which produces shine and shelf-stability without the use of additives due to the properties of cacao butter. http://guardianlv.com/2013/08/does-your ... ntain-wax/
