Resurrection Rolls

I have a friend who posted about their Easter tradition of having Resurrection Rolls for breakfast. It's a great teaching opportunity for our kids and they are pretty tasty too.

1/2 C melted butter
Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture
Large Marshmallows
Biscuits or Crescent rolls (refrigerated or made fresh)

Roll out biscuits until they are 4-5" around. Dip marshmallows in butter and then in cinnamon/sugar mix. Place on biscuit and then fold biscuit around. After all biscuits are filled we used the remaining butter and cinn/sug mix and brushed the top. Bake. Enjoy.



Teaching Opportunity: We had the kids help with the preparation. We likened the marshmallows to Christ's body after he was crucified. The butter and cinnamon/sugar represented the oil and spices that were put on Christ's body after he died. The biscuit represented the tomb. After the biscuits are baked the marshmallows are baked down and the biscuit (tomb) is empty.
