Description

These Homemade Resurrection Rolls are a delightful Easter treat with a symbolic twist. Marshmallows wrapped in sweet dough symbolize the resurrection story, making them a perfect addition to your holiday table.


Ingredients

Crescent Roll Dough:

  • 1 (8-count) can crescent roll dough

Marshmallows:

  • 8 large marshmallows

Melted Butter Mixture:

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  3. Prepare Dough and Marshmallows: Separate crescent roll dough into triangles. Dip each marshmallow in melted butter, then coat with cinnamon sugar.
  4. Wrap Marshmallows: Place a coated marshmallow in the center of each dough triangle, seal edges tightly to form a ball.
  5. Bake: Arrange rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Let cool briefly before serving warm.

Notes

  • The melted marshmallow inside the baked rolls creates an empty ‘tomb’ – a meaningful Easter symbolism.
  • Explain the story behind the rolls when serving for a more impactful experience.
  • For extra sweetness, consider drizzling with icing or powdered sugar glaze.
