Resurrection Rolls

Ingredients:
Crescent rolls
Melted butter
Large Marshmallows
Cinnamon
Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls.
( This represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.)

3. Give each child a marshmallow. Cut in half.
( This represents Jesus)

4. Dip the marshmallow in melted butter.
(This represents the oils of embalming)

5. Dip the marshmallow into cinnamon and sugar.
(which represents the spices used to anoint the body.)

6. Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll.
(This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.)

7. Place in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes
( The oven represents the tomb.)

Note: Bake in cupcake paper liners and muffin tins.

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloth) and discover that Jesus is no longer there, He is risen. ( The marshmallow and the crescent roll is puffed up, but empty.)

My Mom did this for Easter 2008, with her grandchildren.
