We made ours yesterday and since it's below freezing here I just set them on the deck for 5 minutes and they popped right out. I made a double batch this year for both preschool and the first grade so my house smells like a Crayola factory! Couple of things I changed this year: 1. I sprayed the pan with non-stick (peanut free) cooking spray. 2. I set a baking/rimmed cookie sheet (lined with foil) under the heart pan to make transportation between the oven and the freezing cold deck stress free. 3. I used a box cutter to slice each label down the side of the crayon and they popped right out of the wrappers, no more crayon shavings under your finger nails for a week! : ) Fondly, pink and green mama MaryLea They look great! Awesome Jen!!
