Great Experience
My grand daughter really loves this toy. She use to always buy those candy rings and necklaces so this was a must have for her. She thoroughly loves making different necklaces and bracelets and then immediately eating them. Yes it does not come with a light bulb but it says so on the box. Just like any toy these days you have to look to see what is not included. Same...

Doesn't come with LIGHT BULB!!! Takes FOREVER!!
My daughter wanted this sooooo bad for her birthday. Imagine the disappointment when we opened it and she wanted to play with it, but we didn't have a light bulb to melt the candy into the molds.
We searched all our light fixtures in the house to "borrow" one; however this one uses a special small based blunt tip 40W chandelier bulb.

Doesn't come with LIGHT BULB!!! Takes FOREVER!!, October 5, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
My daughter wanted this sooooo bad for her birthday. Imagine the disappointment when we opened it and she wanted to play with it, but we didn't have a light bulb to melt the candy into the molds.
We searched all our light fixtures in the house to "borrow" one; however this one uses a special small based blunt tip 40W chandelier bulb.
Once we found this specialty bulb at a large retail hardware store, she filled her little mold tray. It took about 1 1/2 hours to make 4 tiny pieces of candy and about 4 minutes for her to string it through a licorice rope and eat it. The refill kits are expensive. You're better off getting a roll of Lifesavers and stringing them on licorice ropes or yarn because that's basically what this is!

Does not work!, October 2, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
The packaging does not indicate that it does not come with a 40W bulb, so I had to run out to get the bulb while my kid was ready to 'cook' her candy. Then realized bulb was not strong enough to melt candy into mold, we tried to cook it multiple times and it did not work. The candy came in un-resealable baggies which was very difficult to contain so be aware that it will get everywhere. My kid was so frustrated with it not working and gave up on it. It was complete waste of time.

Don't waste your money, November 9, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This product does not work as described. The oven does not come with the light bulb required and said light bulb is hard to find. The oven does not heat well, nor evenly. Some of the smaller candy finally melted after about an hour, but the other candy did not. It's hard to get the melted candy out while trying to leave the unmelted candy undisturbed. It was such a disappointment!

Better than expected., December 24, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
I bought this after reading about it taking forever to melt and had low expectations. However, I read the directions and found it clearly says to use the sprinkles as decoration and then fill the mold with the candy pellets (big ones that are pink and green). The sprinkles do not melt and if you don't put enough candy pellets in, it won't work. We did use too many sprinkles on a few and all we had to do is put a few candy pellets on and then put it back through. Worked just fine. My 3 and 7 year old had a lot of fun with it (even though it says 8 and up). You do need the lightbulb but I did get that ahead of time. Christmas Day with all the stores closed, it would be a major disappointment to not have the bulb. Bad call by the manufacturer!

Candy Maker, November 25, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This candy maker is a great and fun way to make your own candy. Best part is the candy tastes greaat too. Nothing better than creating and designing your own candy jewlery with this oven.

Disappointed kids, November 21, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
As many others have mentioned, and I didn't notice on the package, THIS DOES NOT COME WITH THE LIGHT BULB!!!
Make sure you have a 40-watt blunt end small lightbulb (like old christmas lights).
This requires high dexterity for kids. The candy pieces are very small and will make a mess. It does come with 2 molds, but the molds are small so be aware that getting the candy inside the mold, vs on the mold/table/floor/everywhere is quite difficult even for me as an adult. My kids were already frustrated at this point.
The "oven" doesn't heat evenly and some candy melts while others just sit there.
My kids basically spent about 2 hours to get 3 small pieces of candy. I paid $[...] plus tax at Wal-Mart. $[...] can buy a lot of candy and I wouldn't have a plastic piece of junk laying around.
Take your kid to a local candy store and have them show them how they make the candy. Then buy some candy. Much better experience.

A fun activity, November 15, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
We bought this for our daughter's 7th birthday and she loves it. Yes, unfortunately it doesn't come with a light bulb so make sure to purchase this ahead of time. The candy tastes great and it's a fun activity to do with your child.

Stupid Mom, January 2, 2010
OK, as if being a mother isn't difficult enough, I plugged this oven into three different outlets waiting for it to heat up. Just as other reviewers noted, I had NO IDEA it did not come with a bulb!!! Are you kidding me??? In teeny tiny print, on the bottom of a super busy box reads "requires one 40 watt small base candelabra blunt tip light bulb." Give me a break! I have drawers full of AA, AAA, C and even a couple of D batteries. But on Christmas Morning I was plum out 40 watt small base candelabra blunt tip bulbs. What a bummer for my girls!

Candy Jewel Factory Oven (please start including the lightbulb), January 2, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
I think that the light bulbs should be included in these types of toys most people dont think to look and see if it is included which happened this christmas at our home and we did not have a lightbulb which would fit so my daughter was very disappointed because she had to wait until the store opened up the next day to play with her new toy.
