Just print them out and you're ready to go!
Last Valentine's Day, I made some edible crayons. They were such a hit that we decided to make them for Back-to-School treats! I made some Back To School crayon labels that you can download here. Just print them out and you're ready to go!

    Step 5

    When dry, wrap with crayon label and secure with tape. "CrayonEatr" got the most giggles since our baby is quite the professional. :)

    We put some in inexpensive pencil boxes for back to school gifts!

    Notes: You can buy Candy Melts in white or brown at Wal-Mart. They're in the craft section in the wedding supplies. Wal-Mart also had white chocolate bark in the baking aisle. For colored Candy Melts, check your local cake supply store or you can get them at http://www.sugarcraft.com/. On sugarcraft.com, do a search for "compound coating". To color melted white chocolate chips or chocolate bark, oil-based candy food coloring is best. If you have regular food coloring, just make sure the chocolate isn't too hot (just warm) when you add it or it might make it clumpy.

I did this last night for my school's bake sale and it turned out great! I have a tip: to get a point (like a new crayon) mold some mike and ikes into a cone shape, melt the bottom with a candle (hold it in the fire till the bottom is bubbly) and stick it on the ragged end of the pretzel. :3 Thank you for posting this!!
