Ever heard of a Resurrection roll? Oh, oh, OH, they are YUMMY! We first tried these last year and I have made an executive decision that they are now part of our Easter traditions. All you need are some canned crescent rolls, about 1/2 cup butter or margarine (we use Country Crock light), large marshmallows, and some cinnamon.
Preheat your oven to 375.
Melt the butter over low heat, stirring in the cinnamon (as much as you want, I just threw some in.)
Unroll the crescents into triangles, press down to spread them out a little.
Cut 4 marshmallow in half so you have 8 smaller ones.
The marshmallow represents Jesus' body, which He gave for us.
Dip them into the melted butter mixture, which represents the oils and spices used to embalm him.
The crescent is the "tomb." Place the coated marshmallow near the flat end of the triangle and roll it up, pinching the edges. If you don't seal it well, the marshmallow will ooze out and go everywhere...no bueno.
Bake as directed.
Once baked, the "body" will be GONE, representing the empty tomb our precious Savior left behind! Cool, huh?
Drizzle any leftover butter mixture over the top and enjoy! If I were a spiffy cool blogger (instead of a newbie without foresight) I would have a delectable-looking picture for you to drool over...but, alas, we ate them all before it occurred to me to capture the moment.
If you make some of these, write a comment and let me know your kids' reactions to the tomb being "empty"!
