Fairy Bread Recipe
There's always room in life for fairy bread, FACT! Fairy bread love hearts make a super simple snack for birthday parties, tea party snack or kids breakfast treat.
HOW TO MAKE FAIRY BREAD
I don't know about you but I like childhood to be just a little bit magical and making a batch of fairy bread really helps that magic to pop! Originating in Australia fairy bread is a nostalgic treat and a super cute recipe to try out with the kids! It's super similar to the Dutch chocolate sprinkle kids breakfast recipe too!
Seriously it couldn't be easier to make fairy bread - you just need the cheap white sliced bread, butter and sugar sprinkles - that's it. Perfect little breakfast to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's so simple and it's an easy snack kids can make for themselves!
FAIRY BREAD INGREDIENTS
- A slice of white bread (or more, depending on how many you're making)
- Margarine or butter
- Rainbow Sprinkles
HOW TO MAKE FAIRY BREAD
Simply smother your bread with butter and sprinkle on the sprinkles! That's it, super easy, super delicious!
HOW TO MAKE BREAD SHAPES
If you're making shaped fairy bread then it's way easier to cut out the shapes of bread first. Once they're cut then add the butter otherwise the buttery shapes will keep getting caught up in the cookie cutters.
CAN YOU MAKE SPRINKLE BREAD THE NIGHT BEFORE?
You can, BUT.... the colour from the sugar sprinkles might run into your butter as the butter can make the sprinkles a bit soggy.
FAIRY BREAD TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS
- Fresh white bread is my favourite but If you want to be healthier use wholemeal bread
- Switch up the sprinkles, use different colours or shapes - chocolate sprinkles, or glittery sprinkles, little silver balls and blue stars work well.
- I sometimes like to add a little extra magical touch and sprinkle over edible glitter too.
- Change the love hearts to stars or other shapes - they're easy to match to party themes too. Try making Christmas fairy bread, cut out little Christmas trees and decorate them with green sprinkles or a mixture of green and red sprinkles.
