Notes: The peeling and chopping of the crayons is what takes the long time... Also consider the colors: multicolor looks sweet but similar shades are cool and blend together... Let me know if you've got questions!

Instructions

  1. Small 4314673552 6bf97046da m

    Take crayons and peel off all the paper.

    Now break up crayons into little bits. Depending on how large you want the chunks to be you can do this differently: For large chunks: just break with fingers For smaller chunks: use knife to make grooves in crayon at desired length, then snap with fingers. Spray tin and put in pieces.

  3. Bake at 275°F for about 8 minutes. You will want to check how quickly they melt: if you have large tins (like me) they will go for about 11 minutes, and smaller for less. When you take them out you can swirl with a utensil if that's the look you want.

  4. Cool for a while! : D
