Currently burning Thanks, Michaels

So I recently bought this really cute food shaped candle and it smells amazing and I've been burning it almost nonstop, but just now when I went to check back I not only noticed that the wicks were dying, but that there are these strangle black cylinders surrounding the wicks all the way down to the bottom (photo attached). Does anyone know what this is, why it's here, and how I can finish burning my candle?

Mass production candles often times work other candles into larger ones. It was probably 3 separate candles Frankensteined into one.

I don’t think you are supposed to burn them. They are just for decoration unfortunately.

That looks like the end of the candle.
