“Empty Tomb” Rolls

"Empty Tomb" Rolls are crescent rolls wrapped around large marshmallows, baked until golden and gooey inside. The marshmallow melts during baking, leaving a hollow center that symbolizes an empty tomb. The rolls are coated with a cinnamon-sugar mixture for added sweetness and spice, resulting in soft, warm, sweet rolls with a melted marshmallow surprise inside.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
