Resurrection Rolls

These directions are written in simple terms so that children are able to easily make them. However, you can make them and tell people what each part represents.

Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl before preparing rolls. Set aside. Melt the butter in another bowl and set aside.

1. Give each child one triangle shaped section of crescent roll dough. This represents the tomb.
2. Each child takes one marshmallow which represents the body of Christ.
3. Dip the marshmallow in the melted butter and roll it in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. This represents the oils and spices the body was anointed with upon burial.
4. Lay the marshmallow on the triangle of dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow.
5. Make sure all seams are pinched together well. (Otherwise the marshmallow will “ooze” out of the seams.)
6. Put the rolls onto a baking tray prepared as directed on the package directions. Bake according to the crescent roll package directions, usually 8-10 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool. While they cool, combine the icing ingredients in a small bowl.
8. Drizzle the icing over the rolls.
9. Break open the rolls (which represent the tomb—and the body of Christ is no longer there!!).
10. Celebrate God’s love!
