I remember making a crayon candle years ago with my Dad and brother from Christmas. We had a great time breaking up our really old broken candles and melting the wax, etc. But now I’ve found something else that beats the crayon candles hands down! In our FL heat and summer sun this will take about 2.2 seconds to accomplish. I think it’ll take longer to find a neato pan to put it in. Thanks Rockin’ Granola for this awesome blog post!

When my Gram R passed away I inherited a large supply of madeleine tins, chocolate molds, pastry trays, and varioius mini bundt pans. Some of them are in terrific shape and get used for their intended purposes. Some of them are a bit rusty and bent and no longer suitable for food use, so those have become crayon molds for the kiddos. If you don’t have a grandmother who collected candy and baking supplies, I highly suggest the local thrift store for your crayon mold needs – I see interesting pans and trays at ours all the time. I give our trays a little spray with some baking spray (Pam) first so they are a bit easier to get the crayons out (sticking the trays in the freezer helps with this, too). If it isn’t hot enough to melt your crayons outside on the sidewalk, stick the tray in a low oven for a little while (keep a careful eye on them) or put a towel down on the seat of the car to catch any spills and make your crayons in the car (an idea inspired by several mishaps of unintentional crayon making LOL)
