Fairy bread is a wonderful treat that tastes just as magical as it sounds. Made with just 3 ingredients– bread, butter, and sprinkles– my traditional fairy bread recipe is as simple as it is delicious. For a sweeter treat, I like to make Nutella fairy bread, too! It’s delightfully sweet, creamy, and crunchy!

What’s in This Fairy Bread Recipe?
- Bread: Regular white sandwich bread is the traditional choice and works best for this recipe.
- Butter: Unsalted butter helps the sprinkles stick to the bread and adds a creamy element.
- Sprinkles: Add sweetness and crunch. Get creative and use any kind you like– jimmies, confetti, or nonpareils!
Nutella Fairy Bread
To make the Nutella version of this tasty fairy bread, I simply swapped out the butter for chocolate hazelnut spread– yum!

Tips for Success
- Make sure you’re cutting off the crusts of your bread before you sprinkle anything on it. If you like the crusts, you can always leave them on instead of cutting them off.
- Grab your favorite sprinkles and toppings to add to the Fairy Bread as a finishing touch.
- For the Chocolate Hazelnut cut-outs, if you want to cover the ½ slice of bread with sprinkles first, then you will need to put a little of the Chocolate Hazelnut spread on the top piece of bread in order for it to stick.
