It's used as an illustration for preschoolers about how Jesus was put into the tomb and how it was empty on Easter morning. Basically, it's just a marshmallow wrapped in a crescent roll, and when you bake it, the marshmallow melts, creating an empty space in the middle, just like the empty tomb. It can really elicit a "wow" reaction in some kids, and besides that, it's delicious!
On Saturday night, we'll assemble the rolls, and I'll bake them for breakfast on Easter Sunday morning, the day that Jesus rose from the dead! (Hopefully the overnight rest won't affect anything.) And here's a tip: baking them in a muffin tin helps the rolls stay together. Just grease it really well.

Resurrection Rolls
1 package of 8 Pillsbury crescent rolls
8 large marshmallows
1/2 cup melted butter, for dipping
cinnamon and sugar
Preheat the oven according to package instructions. Unroll the crescent rolls. Place each marshmallow in the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll the crescent around the marshmallow, sealing it off as well as you can. Dip the roll in butter, then roll it in more sugar and cinnamon. Bake according to package instructions.
Happy Easter!

Thank you!!! You just planned my Easter morning activity for me during a busy time of home construction when I feel like the kids are not getting as much Easter education/celebration as I would like. Yay for the internet and friends!
