Resurrection Rolls

Sweet Ashley Howry always has the greatest ideas!!!! She just put this fun recipe up on her blog for Easter! Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not always for the right reasons....that's changed over the last couple of years though. I used to love it because the weather was usually so springy and nice, and who doesn't love a new Easter dress??!! Since being baptized and digging into my scripture study I appriciate it so much more. These Resurrection Rolls are going to be a GREAT tradition to start with my babies!! I love the idea!!

RESURRECTION ROLLS


• 1 package Crescent rolls

• melted butter

• large marshmallows

• cinnamon

• sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls.

The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.

Give each child a marshmallow.

This represents Jesus and His purity.

Have child dip the marshmallow in melted butter.

This represents the oils of embalming.

Dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar.

This represents the spices used to anoint the body of Jesus.

Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll

(not like a typical crescent roll up, but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside)

this represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

The oven represents the tomb (pretend like it was 3 days and nights!)

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloths) and discover that Jesus is no longer there,

HE IS RISEN! The marshmallow melts and the crescent roll is puffed up,

but like the tomb - IT IS EMPTY!
