What Vadrice and Trijhaos said.
If you buy standard white candles you can colour them to suit by using poster-paints mixed with washing-up liquid. Those cheap paintboxes sold for kids are ideal.
If that's not good enough for you (or for Elvis), you can melt down the white candles in a saucepan. Salvage the wicks, make moulds out of whatever's handy (yoghurt pots are good, so long as the wax isn't too hot). For colour, add a crayon to the liquid wax. You could also add your contaminant of choice (eg, peanut butter) to the liquid wax, but this is probably best done when the wax is starting to cool. Remember- the melting point of wax is quite low, but its boiling point is much higher than water. Experiment, but be careful around hot stuff that sloshes.
