“Empty Tomb” Rolls
Description
This recipe uses refrigerated crescent roll dough split into triangles to encase large marshmallows. Each marshmallow is dipped in melted butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar before wrapping in dough. Sealing the dough around the marshmallow ensures the melted center doesn't leak out during baking. The tops of the dough rolls are brushed with butter and coated with cinnamon sugar for a sweet, slightly crunchy exterior.
Baking at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes yields golden brown rolls that are soft and fluffy on the outside while the marshmallow inside melts, creating a gooey center and an empty cavity once eaten. They are best served warm to enjoy the melting texture and sweet cinnamon flavor.
These rolls can be enjoyed as a sweet breakfast treat or dessert and offer a playful, fun presentation linked to their symbolic name.
Ingredients
- 1 crescent rolls 8 ounce or 12 ounce package, refrigerated; bigger size easier to wrap around marshmallow
- 1/4 /4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 8 marshmallows large
- 1/4 /4 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Separate rolls into eight triangles. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip each marshmallow into butter, roll in cinnamon-sugar and place on a triangle. Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges. Make sure to seal well or all the marshmallow will escape.
- Dip tops of dough into remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Place with sugar side up in greased muffin cups. It helps to use jumbo muffin tins so that the juice doesn't overflow.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly then eat warm.
Notes
- Use the larger (12-ounce) crescent roll package if possible; it makes wrapping marshmallows easier.
- Seal the dough tightly around marshmallows to prevent leaking during baking.
- Using jumbo muffin tins can help catch any marshmallow overflow during baking.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before eating to avoid burns from hot melted marshmallow.
