If you've ever had to buy those refills for Easy Bake Overns you know they are expensive. My daughter and I have tried all of these and really like them (more fun too, doing it together!). We've even put them in bags with ribbons and directions and given them with gifts.

Editor's Note: For people not familiar with Easy Bake ovens, it's a toy oven made by Hasbro.
