In preparation for Easter, here’s a tasty treat to try with your children (or your husband).
Resurrection Rolls
1 tube of crescent roll dough
1/2 cup (or less) melted butter
Large marshmallows
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Give each child a triangle of dough - representing the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped
Give each child a marshmallow - representing Jesus' purity
Have each child dip the marshmallow in melted butter - representing the oils of embalming
Then have them dip the butter marshmallow into the sugar/cinnamon mixture - representing the spices used to anoint the body of Jesus
Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent dough (bring up the sides and seal the marshmallow inside) - representing the wrapping of Jesus' body after His death
Place in preheated oven for 10 minutes - representing the tomb, pretending like it was 3 days!!!
When the rolls are cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls and discover that the marshmallow is gone - representing the empty cloth and tomb. JESUS is RISEN!

I love it! I will have to try this next year.
ReplyDeleteSo I tried this and they didn't work! The marshmallows poked their way out and ended up looking like white blobs coming out of a tomb. Which in itself was kind of cool - Jesus didn't stay in the tomb, did he boys? But I was bummed it didn't work the "normal" way. I'll try again next year...!
