Resurrection Rolls

We started our Easter morning with the family making resurrection rolls as we discussed Jesus dying on the cross, his burial, and his resurrection!  A great lesson in the kitchen that proved to be humbling and delicious!

Camo is ready to get started!

Ingredients and Directions:

You will need a marshmallow to represent Jesus and his purity.  Roll the marshmallow around in melted butter which represents the oils for embalming. Next, roll the marshmallow in cinnamon and sugar which represents the spices used to annoint the body of Jesus.  Then, wrap the marshmallow in a crescent roll triangle that represents the cloth that wrapped Jesus' body after his death. 

Everyone was excited about making Resurrection Rolls!

 

Place in 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until crescent rolls are golden brown.

The oven represents the tomb. 

When the rolls are done and cooled, open the crescent roll (cloth) and discover that Jesus (marshmallow) is no longer there.  He is risen!  The crescent roll is empty just like the tomb!

Happy Monday after Easter everyone!  I pray you have a blessed week!
