Step 4MELT THE CRAYONS
-Put on an oven mitt and place the mini-muffin tin in your pre-heated 275 degree oven.
-The crayons should be melted in about 10-13 minutes.
-Only an adult should remove the melted crayons from the oven! Carefully place the hot muffin tin on a heat resistant surface and let cool for about 25 minutes. Then place tin in your refrigerator or freezer for about 5-10 minutes. If you place in the refrigerator/freezer before cooled- the muffins may crack from the extreme temp. change.
-Invert the muffin tin onto a dish towel covered surface and the chilled mini-muffin sized crayons should fall right out. The dish towel lessens the surface impact as the crayons fall from the tin.
*Great way to use dull and broken crayons brought home by students at the end of the school year!
*Wrap the mini-muffin crayons in clear plastic bags and tie with a ribbon and use as birthday favors!
*Any muffin tin shape or oven safe candy mold will work for this easy project...just remember to monitor while "baking" if your pan/tin is smaller.
*Since crayons are non-toxic you should not have to worry about baking real muffins in your favorite tin.

I suggest you make the cupcake crayons without the liner and then when ready to package them (for gifts), place each one in a liner (then). Good luck.
