Mine stayed cool- it did take being careful but I wasn't burnt at all. I know others have used cans and a oven mitt though.

How in the world do you pick up the muffin liner with hot was and pour it into the candy mold? I love this idea but I'm really stuck at this point. I think I would spill it all over the place and burn my hands.

Thank you for such great ideas! I love this and the idea of using these for birthday parties is very cool! Even, with supervisions, kids can make these at the party, if you have time. And I was just about to toss a ton of candy molds out! Thanks again!

Thank you again for your wonderful blog, and for this fun and easy craft idea. We made some yesterday and they were a big hit with my 3 and 5 year old!

Just finished and they turned out so cute! I used a train mold for a Thomas bday party.

The only problem I had was when I dumped the contents of the muffin pan on the oven door. Luckily, the wax poured down the inside of the door which was hot and so clean up wasn’t so bad.
Thanks again!!

Anon- I am so sorry the muffin liners bled! I hope you can get the wax off.

We always save the crayons that you get at restaurants so we can recycle them into muffin tin crayons. Wow, candy molds, what a great idea! I have a bunch of these candy molds that would be perfect. I never thought of using candy molds for crayon making. Thanks for the inspiration!

I tried these today with my kids and they thought it was great! A low temp suggested in the instructions would be great as I had it to high at first. Kids got to hear the smoke alarm! I also found the liners didn’t absorb all the wax away from the muffin tin. Will need to clean it really well or get a new tin. I used a mixture of brands but I found the crayola gave the best color as the cheap dollar store ones were not very colored.

Shana – sorry it’s taken so long for me to get back to you I just got back from vacation. I would do the chocolate first then the crayons. Even though they are non toxic there is often some residue left in the tray. Or you can simply use half of the molds for crayons only and the other half for candy.

We have done the muffin tin ones too, a reader shared it with me and it’s been a slippery slope of crayon making in our house ever since!
