- Cool completely and decorate them anyway you wish. My kids love frosting their own and adding candy and sprinkles.
Notes
Marbles can be purchased at the dollar store. I’ve even used the marbles from my kid’s board games – they work great. If you don’t have marbles, you could roll up small balls of aluminum foil.
