A “candlelit dinner” usually has candles on the dinner table. The meal is usually not cooked with candles, but there are jokes about that.
“Going out tonight for a candlelit dinner. Surely it would cook quicker in an oven” was posted on X/Twitter by Basil Bottler on January 27, 2012. “My wife said she wanted a candlelit dinner. But I’m pretty sure it would cook quicker in the oven” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on March 28, 2021. “Tried making a candlelit dinner but I think it would have cooked quicker in the oven” was posted on Facebook by Joe Stark to One LinersAnd SNappy Gags on November 12, 2021.
“We had a candlelit dinner last night. Everything was extremely under-cooked” is a related joke.

Had a lovely candlelit dinner last night although it would have been quicker to have used the oven.
