“I always thought of this as a classic no-name, middle-class American kid’s snack. It is something my Mom would make for my brother and I quite often when we were growing up as a treat. Then one day in 2025 I ran across ‘Fairy Bread’ and discovered it comes from Australia and New Zealand! It descends from the Dutch treat, Broodje Hagelslag.” – April Ferre
