I live in the jungle and making medicinal chocolates with a lot of ingredients, the issue is its hot here always so the chocolate melts. I found that melting beeswax (mixed with cacao powder to colour it brown) and dipping the chocolates in it, give it a solid, melt proof coat of beeswax that looks good. The issue is theres too much beeswax, its like eating a candle. So I tried mixing the beeswax with coconut oil and that fixes the waxiness and taste issue, but the coat becomes too soft.
What additives çan I add to beeswax to create a melt proof, water proof coating? Im thinking of trying corn starch. Maybe xanthan gum too. Is there something I can add to the coconut oil/beeswax mixture to make it more solid?

You could try cocoa butter instead of coconut oil. Cocoa butter has a somewhat higher melting point so may stay a bit more solid than the coconut oil mixture.
Since beeswax's melting point is so high, does the chocolate on the inside melt or lose temper during dipping?
