Fried food lovers are in for a real treat - a scented candle which wafts out the smell of their favorite grub for them to savour in their own home.

Lucky foodies will be able to whiff the delights of fried chicken and bacon thanks to a Double Down candle modelled on the odours of the famous KFC treat.

The burger was never available in the UK and remains unavailable in many countries after only ever being released for a limited period in the US.

But it proved such a hit, giftware firm Kentucky for Kentucky has developed the candle so we can all have a Double Down experience of some kind.

The candle will also pump out subtle smells of beef, cheese, BBQ sauce and mayo which also feature in the mega burger alongside two chicken breasts and crispy bacon slices.

The candle is part of the ‘Scents of the Commonwealth’ collection, which also features Hot Brown, Mint Julep and Fried Chicken scents.

Kentucky for Kentucky describe the candle as "Layered with pure Kentucky goodness, this Double Down candle starts off with a layer of Kathy’s real fried chicken candle mixed with bacon pieces, easing into a bacon-scented center, finishing off with another layer of bonafide fried chicken."

It will give a new meaning to having a candle-lit dinner.

The candle and the rest of the collection go on sale tomorrow, Friday May 8, at 10am.
