An edible writing instrument having a crayon-like writing effect, prepared from edible materials, available in various colors and suitable for writing upon edible films. The edible writing instrument is preferably prepared from a stearine, such as edible vegetable oils/shortenings, and from FD & C approved food colorings, and optionally, from edible sweeteners and/or flavorings. The edible writing instrument is preferably created by heating the aforesaid vegetable oils/shortenings as per a selected formula in a double boiler to produce an aqueous solution, and then dispersing thereinto selected additional ingredients to produce an aqueous writing media. The aqueous writing media is then poured into a mold and then permitted to cool into a solidified writing media suitable for use in writing on edible films in the manner of a crayon. The preferred mold is a clear plastic drinking straw which is provided with a tapered, sealed end. The solidified writing media (14) remains resident in the plastic straw (16). In use, the user simply squeezes the straw at the taper, thereby causing a writing tip (14a) of the solidified writing media to emerge from the free end of the straw (16a) sufficient to allow for writing therewith.
