This is a great idea. I see you’ve included marjoram. I just harvested and dried a bunch and am now thinking about how and when to use it as opposed to oregano. So thanks!

I actually envisioned mimiature lollipops on top of the sticks, rather than the bottom. Cool idea, though.

Think cake pops. I would probably bake or air fry those meatballs already on the sticks so they don’t fall off. An idea to make with my youngest granddaughter – thank you, dear Gail!
