The crayons pop right out no problem :) I love the heart shapes. I've made tons of them for my classroom in many color combos.

And my thumb still hurts. I did finally figure out that if you use a scissor to score through the wrapper down the side, the paper comes right off. I also put some really fine glitter in the bottom of the mold first, which added some nice sparkle. When the crayons were cool, I put them in a cellophane bag intended for lollipops and added a cardstock topper stapled to the cellophane. They were so cute. My girls were much more impressed with their fairy valentines. What's a mom to do? I made these for Valentine’s too. And my thumb still hurts.

They turned out beautifully! I love the way you sorted the colors. I made heart crayons this week too, for the first time, also with a silicone pan. It is so much fun!
