Every Easter, my girls and I make these Resurrection Rolls (also known as Empty Tomb Rolls.) My girls love this tradition. As the rolls bake, the marshmallow melts inside of the dough leaving the “tomb” empty.

Why are they called Resurrection Rolls?

These rolls symbolize Jesus’ burial and resurrection.

-The marshmallow represents Jesus. It is pure and sinless. 

-The butter, cinnamon & sugar represents the oil and spices that Jesus’ friends rubbed on His body to get Him ready for burial. 

-The crescent rolls represent the cloths that they wrapped His body in. 

-The oven represents the tomb. 

-Jesus was in the tomb for 3 days. On the 3rd day, He rose from the dead! The tomb was empty!

Ingredients:

• Marshmallows

•Crescent Rolls

•Melted butter

•Cinnamon

•Sugar

How to Make:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Lay the crescent roll triangles on a parchment lined baking sheet. 
3. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
4. Dip a marshmallow into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating it thoroughly.

5. Place the marshmallow on a crescent triangle and roll it up. Be sure to pinch all of the seams shut so the marshmallow is completely enclosed in the dough.

6. Repeat with remaining marshmallows.

7. Bake for 9-10 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven and then open it up to see that the roll “tomb” is empty!
