Crayon Cupcake Recipe

I'm not much of a baker, but I had a great time making these crayon cupcakes out of old pieces of unwrapped crayon.  Here's the recipe and some pics:

Use a muffin tin lined with paper cups (the foil ones might work better, I had a touch of wax bleed through to my tin) and fill each cup with broken crayon pieces in any color you want.  If you add white pieces, you'll end up with some pretty swirls on the bottoms.  Bake in a pre-heated oven at about 400 degrees.  Watch them closely!!  It only takes a few minutes before they are melted and done!  Take out and cool on a rack until solid.  If the cups are hard to pop out of the tin, simply warm the bottom on the stove.  If your muffin tin gets wax in it, simply warm the bottom of the tin and wipe clean with a paper towel.


Out of the oven and cool. 



These show one with the paper still on, and three with paper removed.
