Have Fun with Sprinkles
I used a wide variety of sprinkles to make my bread super fun and festive. I recommend a mixture of jimmies, nonpareils, confetti, and sanding sugar! If you don’t have many colors on hand, you can color your own sprinkles.

Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- Nutritional information is for 1 slice each of the traditional fairy and the hazelnut bread.
How to Store
Fairy bread is best enjoyed as soon as its made, but extra slices can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
