Need help messing w. Marines (Crayon ice cream/candy molds)
Because it is the duty of all close friends and family of Marines, to tweak their nose.

I will make crayon ice cream, for the Marine Corps Birthday.

The only thing I can think to do, is cast some dyed white chocolate in some kind of chocolate mold, shaped like crayons, if I can find some small enough to work in ice cream. (Yes, I take jokes entirely too far/some of my closer friends are Marines.)

I could cast refined cocoa butter, which is harmless, and tasteless, but I didn't want to make it actually taste like crayons...

Maybe this, chopped up? I'm not sure how they would survive the ice cream making process.

Thank you, I contacted the mold maker, to see if they can make smaller ones.

They will be a bit too big to put in an ice cream machine hold up.

I thought for sure there would be crayon-shaped sprinkles out there, but I couldn’t find any.

I did find 2” long sugar crayons intended as cake/cupcake toppers. They wouldn’t work IN the ice cream but they could go on top or something.

For the love of God, just use any cylindrical mold and use a loud voice to order them to believe it's a crayon...

Or here’s another idea that will be easier to eat as you won’t have rock hard pieces of chocolate or other ingredient in the ice cream:

Make a Stracciatella ice cream (traditional Italian flavor of vanilla base with ribbons of chocolate running through it) but use WHITE chocolate that is colored several colors like typical crayons. You can call it Crayon Shavings ice cream, maybe even color it OD green?

**yes, I used to make ice cream too for a bakery/cafe/parlor from 1998-2000***
