Resurrection Rolls

A special and meaningful Easter treat, these Resurrection Rolls are a simple recipe that can be made and shared with children to teach the story of the resurrection of Jesus. Cinnamon sugar coated marshmallows are baked inside of crescent roll dough to create a delicious, gooey treat that represent the empty tomb.

  • ¼ cup salted butter melted

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 8 large marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 8 liners in a cupcake tin. Set aside.

  3. Open the crescent roll dough and separate the dough into the 8 triangles. 
  4. Using your fingers gently press the dough out slightly. 
  5. Dip a marshmallow into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar, coating the entire marshmallow. 
  6. Place the marshmallow in the widest part of the triangle of the dough, then fold the dough over, pinching it closed to seal all the seams. 
  7. Dip the dough ball into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon sugar, turning to coat the entire thing.

Notes

  • Marshmallows: The pure, white marshmallows represent Jesus Christ and his sinless nature. Use the large size marshmallows for this recipe. I have found that the vegan brands don't vanish as completely as the regular brands.
  • Crescent Roll Dough: This represents the linen that Jesus was wrapped in. Use a store-bought dough or make your own using a homemade crescent dough recipe.
  • Butter: Represents the myrrh & aloes used to anoint Jesus' body for burial (John 19:39).
  • Cinnamon & Sugar: The cinnamon sugar represents the spices used to anoint Jesus' body for burial. (NOTE: While according to scripture the women returned home to prepare the spices and then rested on the Sabbath to return on the third day to apply them (Luke 23:56), we will be applying the "spices" in our recipe).
  • Scripture: As you prepare these resurrection rolls with children please share the story of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection through scripture with them along the way.Matthew 28:1-10, Luke 24:1-12, John 20:1-10, and Mark 16:1-8 all share accounts of the resurrection on the third day.
