I live in New Zealand, and this is a party favourite over here, made with butter instead of cream cheese though. It’s also really yummy made with Nuttella! Yours sounds yum, so will be making it at my daughters party next week 🙂
My granddaughter and I just finished our fairy gardens. We need this to entice the fairies to leave us some fairy dust. What a wonderful idea. The fairy bread will do the trick. Thank you so much for your beautiful blog. Keep up the good work.
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing! It is ok for children to have candy/sweets in moderation…common sense often times is not so common Erin!!
This sounds so yummy! I lived in Indonesia for a couple years as a teacher and the kids would bring in bread with a butter/sugar mixture and chocolate sprinkles on top. It was the first time I’d ever heard of anything like that. This sounds even better! 🙂
This is such a cute idea for a ‘Treat’
my little girl would love to make and then eat this but just as a treat!! Erin check your face!
In Holland, there is a special treat similar to this. We use “chocolate hail” on white bread and butter. Probably similar to chocolate sprinkles for cakes and cupcakes. It is a treat and I can assure it does not promote obesity. I love the name of fairy bread.
This is an awesome idea! I think it would work for an idea for the elf on the shelf at Christmas too. Thank you for sharing this.
Sugar galore!! And we wonder why USA is exploding w obesity! Way to make unhealthy obese children!
Ugly comments like yours are not welcome here, Erin. Everybody knows, if you don’t have something nice to say…..
It’s not a bright idea to insinuate that my children are unhealthy or obese. Watch your words (it’s called common decency). Maybe you should focus your attention more on improving your social skills rather than criticizing other people’s kids. Again, your ugly comments about my children are not welcome here.
Well said Kelly…if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all!! I’m sure that your children are happy and healthy…keep up the good work
I think it’s great that it uses cream cheese! At first glance I thought it was icing. Kids just love a way to add sprinkles to their otherwise plain food. This would be a great alternative to store-bought sugary treats! :-). Thanks for posting.
My kids would love this!
Erin: my kids are underweight, actually. But I would rather they explode with obesity than with a lack of civility. I hope you can see that your comment could be hurtful to others, and I really hope you didn’t intend it that way.
In New Zealand this is a party favourite, but we make it a bit differently. We spread soft butter on bread, add sprinkles, cut to size/shapes with cookie cutters and serve. No mixing and added sugar, the sprinkles do just enough.
That sounds like it’s probably yummy too! We love this recipe combined with the sprinkles:)
here in Aust do it the same as NZers. Love fairy bread! Tastes good as cinnamon too
Kelly! My neighbor and good friend just created a fairy garden with her daughters this summer. Her girls are still patiently waiting for the fairies to arrive. I think this may be just the thing to lure them in. No matter who makes this, I’m sure it will be enjoyed with a smile!
This is so awesome!! Love!!
How fun and cute is this??! I think I may love it more than my kids will.. Such an easy treat 🙂
