Editor’s Note: I’m The Lil’ Ole Candy Apple Maker Set from the Lisbeth Whiting Company was a maker set that allowed families to experiment with making candy apples at home. The box included the ingredients needed to create the candy coating for home-supplied apples and promoted “healthful candy apples” along with “famous candy apple secrets from Switzerland.” The toy reflected a growing trend in playthings, such as the Easy-Bake Oven, that encouraged children to explore real-world culinary activities through hands-on play.
