- A tray of some sort to catch the little balls or sprinkles
INSTRUCTIONS
- Have all the equipment ready.
- Grab the slices of bread and lay them out on the tray (or bench) (wheat or gluten-free)
- Using the butter knife, spread an even layer of margarine (or butter/dairy-free margarine)
- Open the sprinkle topping container and evenly sprinkle the non-parallels (or splinter) over the margarine. If it is a large open container, you can use a spoon or your fingers to sprinkle a layer of sprinkles over the bread.
- Traditionally, cut the slices of bread into two or four triangles or make it fun by using cookie cutters/ sandwich cutters to create fun shapes to eat.
- Put the ingredients that are finished with away.
