I was going to suggest boiling water.
Have you tried pouring boiling water over the outside of the candle-holders?
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Can't you just burn them down outside or something, or will that mess up the holders? Heat up a knife blade, get a good oven mitt and cut them out?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I soaked the whole holders in boiling water, and then when that didnt work, got a hammer and chisel, and busted through the ceramic. Hot knife could work!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Just make sure you use a knife with a wooden handle. An all-metal one will be too hot for you to hold once the blade is sufficiently warm.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Did you slip and catch yourself? I had a sore trapezius a few weeks ago and we think that's how I did it.
I don't think so. I've wrenched my back that way before. This feels like a bruise from some kind of pressure or impact. I know how I got the bruises on my shins. This one just confuses me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Allyson, how big are the candles? If they're small, I'd try burning the candles for an hour or more. Then pour off the melted wax, and the remaining wax might be soft enough to push or dig out.

Or that. Trust me to solve an easy problem in a most difficult manner.
If the hot knife doesn't work, pull out the blow torch. You may destroy the tiki torches, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing the citronella candles did not survive the conflagration. They shall bend to your will. Plus, fire.
Edited for context. People need to stop nattering so fast. aurelia, I hope your back feels better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figured since it was referring to several episodes ago it wasn't considered spoilery.
The whole current season of any show is spoilery here. For the UnAmericans among us, and all.
Jesse -- those sound weird. I want them.
