C is for Crocodile Crayons

Materials Needed:
crayons
oven safe metal or silicon cupcake cooking trays
crocodile or alligator candy mold
refrigerator or freezer space

Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees or you can melt the crayons.

Peel the paper off the crayons and break them into pieces. Place the broken crayons into either metal or silicon cupcake cooking trays you don’t intend to use for food preparation. You can use any type of mold you’d like to make all kinds of different shaped crayons.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check on the crayons, once they are completely melted, take the tray out of the oven and pour the melted crayons into the crocodile candy molds and let them thoroughly cool or place them in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes until the wax has set.

Be sure to warn the kids that they are crayons and not food. My daughter brought heart shaped crayons for Valentine’s Day and a few kids tried to take a bite thinking they were

candy.
