To make fairy bread, all you&#8217;ll need is some white sandwich bread, salted butter, a bottle of rainbow nonpareil sprinkles and perhaps a touch of whimsy.

It&#8217;s made by spreading salted butter over a slice of soft white sandwich bread and coating the entire surface with a generous amount of rainbow nonpareils (which are known as &#8220;hundreds and thousands&#8221; in Australia). Fairy bread has a flavor similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/confetti-cake-with-brown-sugar-buttercream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/confetti-cake-with-brown-sugar-buttercream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">funfetti cake<\/a> with the crunchy texture of Snow-Caps candies, which also feature nonpareils. Each slice is traditionally cut into triangles before serving.<\/p>\n<p>While nobody knows the exact origin of fairy bread, the first published reference was in an April 1929 article from\u00a0<em>Mercury, <\/em>a daily newspaper in Australia. The article referenced children at a party eating &#8220;fairy bread and butter and 100s and 1,000s.&#8221; It&#8217;s possible that the recipe was inspired by Dutch <em>hagelslag<\/em>, a similar recipe invented in 1919 that instead features chocolate sprinkles. No matter the origin, the recipe remains a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kids-birthday-party-food-ideas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kids-birthday-party-food-ideas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">party food for kids<\/a> throughout the land Down Under today.<\/p>\n<h2>Fairy Bread Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2125655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fairy-Bread_TOHD24_279497_SarahTramonte_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A plate with four slices of white bread, a small bowl of colorful sprinkles, and a small bowl of butter on a light pink marble surface.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>White sandwich bread:<\/strong> Save your crusty artisan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/country-crust-sourdough-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/country-crust-sourdough-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sourdough<\/a> for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ooey-gooey-panini-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ooey-gooey-panini-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ooey-gooey panini<\/a>.

While unsalted butter is great for baking, salted butter is best for fairy bread. The extra salt helps balance the sweetness of the sprinkles so the fairy bread doesn&#8217;t taste too sweet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rainbow nonpareils:<\/strong> These technicolor dots of sweetness make any recipe fun (we submit other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fun-rainbow-sprinkle-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fun-rainbow-sprinkle-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rainbow sprinkles recipes<\/a> as evidence). For this fairy bread recipe, don&#8217;t be shy\u2014you&#8217;ll need at least 1 full tablespoon of nonpareils to coat the surface of a slice of bread.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Butter the bread<\/h3>\n<p>Spread 1\/2 tablespoon of room-temperature butter over each slice of bread, leaving a thin border around the edges.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add sprinkles<\/h3>\n<p>Place one slice of bread, butter-side up, onto a cutting board. Then, carefully spoon 1 tablespoon of rainbow nonpareil sprinkles over the surface to completely cover the butter. Use the back of the spoon (or clean fingers) to gently press the sprinkles into the butter so they adhere. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> You can live recklessly and dose the bread with sprinkles on a cutting board if you dare. In our experience, however, rainbow nonpareil sprinkles tend to roll and go everywhere, so use a rimmed dish or sheet pan that will act as an insurance policy to make cleanup a breeze.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Cut into triangles<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2125656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fairy-Bread_TOHD24_279497_SarahTramonte_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Four slices of bread covered with colorful sprinkles are placed on a wooden cutting board.

Simply arrange the slices on a plate and wrap them tightly in storage wrap until you&#8217;re ready to serve. If your house is warm, we suggest keeping the fairy bread refrigerated so the butter stays firm and the sprinkles remain securely adhered to the bread&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n<h2>Fairy Bread Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2125658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fairy-Bread_TOHD24_279497_SarahTramonte_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Triangular slices of bread topped with a spread and colorful sprinkles are arranged on a round white plate.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should fairy bread have a crust?<\/h3>\n<p>If you search for fairy bread online, you&#8217;ll see images and recipe versions for how to make fairy bread with and without crusts.
