When I did this with my kids we used the left over cheap crayons we get at restaurants. The cookies didn't turn out well at all. I decided to splurge and go buy crayola crayons specifically for melting and they turned out fantastic!

I bought a silicon Wilton heart tray which was a waste of money since next time I can just use a muffin tin with paper liners. The project I found online said to do it at 250. After about 8 minutes, they really weren't melted so I cranked it up to 275 for about another 5 minutes and they turned out great! I swirled the colors around with toothpicks after they came out and popped them in the fridge to cool.

A friend and I recently made these crayons for Valentine's presents as well. 150 degrees for 10-15 minutes worked best.
