Resurrection Rolls Recipe

Serves 8 (can be doubled)

Ingredients List:

1 8-count package of crescent rolls
8 large marshmallows
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions:

• Set oven according to crescent roll instructions. Read John 19.

• Prep baking pan with parchment paper.

• Unroll crescents and place on parchment. These represent the linen
cloth being laid out for Jesus body.

• Melt butter in a skillet or microwave and pour into a small bowl.

• Combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.

• Using a toothpick inserted into the end of a marshmallow or your fingers,
dip the marshmallow into the melted butter and then roll in the
cinnamon/sugar until thoroughly covered. The marshmallow represents
Jesus body being cleansed by oils for embalming and anointing with
spices.

• Place cinnamon/sugar covered marshmallow on the center of the crescent roll and
carefully wrap completely. The linen cloth is carefully wrapped around
Jesus in preparation for burial.

• Repeat for all crescent rolls.

• *If desired, drizzle the crescents with melted butter and
sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar or add sifted confectioners
sugar before or after baking.

• Bake approximately 10 minutes or until rolls are cooked and lightly
browned. Jesus is placed in the tomb for 3 days. Read John 20:1-18

• Add a cross with a toothpick if desired. Cool slightly before serving.

• Open the now-hollow roll, the “empty tomb,” to reveal that Jesus Is Risen! Read John 20:19-31.

• REJOICE! Read 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

Tips for Resurrection Rolls Recipe

For a more homespun, rustic look, bake on a sheet pan.
The marshmallow will most likely ooze out of a few while baking, so
parchment covered baking sheets are highly recommended.
Alternatively, bake in muffin cups inside muffin tins for a more uniform look.
When going through this with children, several rolls will have marshmallows
oozing out. Find the finished ones where there’s no evidence or hole in the
dough for a more impactful lesson.
