Husband (39m) tricked 5 11 year old girls into thinking they’d taken marijuana edible gummies for April 1st. It may have literally ruined friendships and family relations. What can I do other than apologize?

Wait, why are you the one apologizing and not your husband? That right there is part of the problem. All the parents know you're sorry, but they aren't hearing it from HIM. And that is what they need to hear.

And I'm going to tell you exactly how that looks - not having HIM contact each parent and child to apologize and offer amends of some type means everyone can only assume one of two things:

a) He's a lil' coward hiding behind others and can't even admit he's wrong publicly or be adult enough to put things right or

b) Thinks he did nothing wrong and is laughing at everyone behind their back and will do worse in the future if trusted again.

Hell, I wouldn't let you all watch my kids either because I would also assume it's a or be and that would tell me that my kid is not safe at your house. Not because of you, but what happens if you wander off again or what's he going to do that you will then try to clean up the mess aftewards?

You want this fixed? Tell your husband to get off his ass, adult up, go apologize to each of these families in person HIMSELF and maybe offer some kind of amends to sooth things over.

You and your poor kids shouldn't be the wall for this guy to hide behind.
