Recreating Crayola!

My cousin posted pictures of crayon cookies, on facebook, that she made with her son using all of those annoying little pieces that just hang around. Today I cleaned out the girls crayon box, filling a crayon carousel with good crayons, and putting all the little pieces aside. Then I spent about an hour pulling off the paper....they had a lot of little pieces which is why I am so happy to be doing something with them, instead of just tossing them in the trash! After they were naked, we broke them in smaller pieces if we could, then we put them in a non-stick mini muffin pan. We made some mixed colors, and others were the same. Placed them in a 250 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes, then cooled completely.  They love them saying that they are better than regular crayons, and I quote, "what a great idea". We ended up with 40 crayon cookies. :)
