For authentic Fairy Bread, it’s important to start with soft white bread, with the crusts on, that you can get from your local supermarket. Start by spreading a generous layer of butter or margarine over each slice of bread you intend to use.

Fairy Bread is an open sandwich, so cut each slice in half, from corner to corner, to make diagonal slices.

Sprinkle your hundreds and thousands generously over each slice. The tiny balls will stick to the butter, coating each slice in a delightful layer of sweet speckles.
