Empty Tomb Rolls or Resurrection Rolls |
These Empty Tomb Rolls are not only easy to make, they require only a few ingredients and are super yummy. A great combination when cooking with kids.
Of course, Empty Tomb Rolls (or Resurrection Rolls as they are also called) do more than just offer a yummy snack on Easter Morning, they're also a great way to teach the story of the Resurrection of Christ.
Marshmallows are dipped in melted butter, then into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. The coated marshmallows are then wrapped in the dough from a tube of crescent rolls. The rolls are cooked until golden brown, then drizzled with a simple vanilla icing.
As you make these Empty Tomb Rolls, you can talk about the Resurrection of Jesus. Of course, little ones will be thrilled when they bite into their rolls and discover that the marshmallow is gone ... just like the body of Jesus. In place of the marshmallow, they'll find a delicious, gooey, marshmallowy goodness with a hint of cinnamon.
The trick is to make sure that the marshmallow is completely enclosed in the dough before baking. That way, you won't have to worry about the melted marshmallow leaking out of the bread and making a big mess on your baking sheet.
