Devilishly Good
Green Lane Products' Diablo Sandwich Maker gives the classic after-school snack a heavenly spin, producing kid-size, round toasted sandwiches or pastries (fruit turnovers, anyone?) in a jiffy. The heat-guard handle — though not what one would expect from the Devil himself — is safe for kids, who will get a kick out of the device's signature design feature — a pair of horns. iwantoneofthose.com
