My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it.
So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make these posh treats!” I think she has been reading too much Fancy Nancy, because then she said “posh is fancy for fancy” and gave me the biggest smile!
So I read the recipe – I think it’s still called a recipe when there are only two ingredients, right??? It sounded simple. It sounded pretty tasty. Who doesn’t love jelly, right?
Here is what you will need:
* soft bread, sliced (We used white bread because I’m a lover of white bread. I know, not totally healthy but it’s awesome!)
* jelly (any flavor you want. We used homemade raspberry jelly. Yep, I made it. I’m kind of a jelly snob. I want it to taste amazing and not like gelatin with a touch of flavor. So every summer we make raspberry jelly and devour it throughout the year.)
* rolling pin
* wax paper
Directions:
* Cut the crust off of the bread
* cover with wax paper and roll out until flat (you can make it as flat as you would like).
* Cover one side with jelly
* roll up (I rolled another piece of bread right after the first one to make it a larger roll).
* cut into slices
* Bon appetit! (That’s fancy for enjoy!)

These are indeed fancy tea time treats. Looks like the kiddies love helping in the kitchen. Very nice photos, Erin.
What a great idea! Those are some lucky kids to have a nice mommy like you. I agree..there is nothing like homemade jelly.
Yum, looks tasty!
I think it’s a perfect day for a tea party!
Lots of yummy love,

I love this idea! How cute for a little afternoon tea party.
That is super simple and so pretty. Any Fancy Nancy fan would love a pretty platter full of those!
I was just looking at something similar in a kids’ tea party book, and wondering how it would really turn out. They look great!
These look great! I need to remember this for Muffin Tin Monday.
Well, that IS stupendous. How simple – yet fancy looking. Funny – when I saw the thumbnail link, I thought it looked like a felt craft…much better this way. 🙂
That looks yummy! We haven’t read Fancy Nancy as my youngest children are boys, but I’ve heard many great things about it.
Stopping by via stART!
My son and daughter love Fancy Nancy books. I must make these for them. How fun! : )
