Is Banana Pumpkin Bread The Perfect Starter Wax Melt?

If you have never melted wax before, this is the bar I would hand you first.

We are starting Walmart Finds strong with a classic from Better Homes and Gardens: the Banana Pumpkin Bread wax melt bar. It is under two dollars, smells like you have been baking all day, and it is the kind of cozy scent that makes people think you really have your life together when you absolutely do not.

According to the label, you get golden honey, shaved cinnamon, pumpkin puree, warm banana bread, brown sugar, vanilla bean, and caramel swirl. In real life, it smells like a warm loaf just came out of the oven and you cut into the first slice while the steam is still rising.

You can grab this one at Walmart for about $1.97. I have it linked below so you can find the exact bar I am talking about, plus my storefront for all my favorite finds.

Why This Ended Up In My Cart

I was not planning on grabbing another wax melt. I was “just running in for groceries,” which is the biggest lie I tell myself every time I walk into Walmart. I passed the home fragrance aisle, cracked open the clamshell like a menace, and that was it. One sniff. Instant bakery heaven. Game over.

The banana bread note was warm and cozy, the cinnamon smelled baked-in instead of sharp, and the pumpkin sat softly in the back like a supportive friend. It did not smell artificial, and it did not smell like banana candy. Into the cart it went.

How It Actually Performs

On warm, the banana bread note steps forward first. It is gooey, warm, and sweet in the best way. The pumpkin puree and cinnamon show up next so it smells like a fall loaf instead of straight banana muffins.

• Scent strength: 7 out of 10
• Throw: Two cubes easily fill my kitchen and living room
• Longevity: About 6 to 8 hours of good scent

If you are sensitive to sweet bakery scents, this might feel like a bit much after a while. But if you love cozy gourmand scents? This is your moment.

How I Use Mine

I like this one most in the kitchen and living room because it makes the house feel like something delicious is in the oven. On slow weekends or cozy mornings, I melt two cubes to fill the whole space.

If you want a softer vibe, melt one cube in a smaller room for a cozy little pocket of bakery air.

Is This One Worth Trying?

Short answer: Yes. If bakery scents are your thing, this is such a warm, comforting place to start, especially if you're melting wax for the first time.

• You will love it if you like warm bakery scents
• You might skip if banana scents give you headaches
