I've seen these posted on several blogs, so don't know where they originated or who should get credit. Here's my version. These are scrumptious and would make a delicious addition to any meal. Don't wait for Easter; have them any day of the year.
They are very simple and easy to do.
The first time I made these the melted sugar and marshmallow leaked all over the bottom of the pan and the bottoms of the rolls were soggy. They weren't very good. So I've made a few changes. Try them. They really are easy and delicious.
RESURRECTION ROLLS
(Each ingredient represents something used to prepare Christ's body for burial.)
4 Large marshmallows, cut in half (Use your kitchen shears to cut them.)
About 1 1/2 Tablespoons Melted butter
3 Tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tube refrigerated crescent recipe creations seamless dough sheet (If you can’t find it in your store use a tube of refrigerated crescent dough. Makes 8 rolls.)
First open the can of crescent dough and cut once vertically and 3 times horizontally to make 8 rectangular pieces. Use your pizza cutter. It works great. (If you have the roll dough, just separate it into 8 triangles.)
This represents the linen used for covering the dead.
Dip and roll one half marshmallow (representing Christ's body) into melted butter.
The butter represents the oils used in anointing the dead body.
Then roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon/sugar mixture
The cinnamon/sugar represents the spices used to prepare the body for burial.
Place the marshmallow in the center of one crescent rectangle. (or triangle)
Fold the crescent around the marshmallow and pinch the edges tightly together, leaving no openings. Be sure to seal the edges so the marshmallow and sugar won’t leak out.
Place 8 cupcake papers in an 8 opening muffin pan.
(My pan was for 6 muffins, so I put two papers in a square pan and baked 2 of the rolls that way.) If you have any butter left over just go ahead and brush it on top of the rolls. YUM!
Place the crescent-wrapped marshmallows inside the cupcake papers.
(They look better if you put the seams down, but they cook better and keep the melted marshmallows and sugar inside better if you place the seams up.)
Place the pan in the oven (which represents the tomb) and bake according to the package directions. Close the "tomb" tightly and wait...
(This takes about 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees.)
When it's time, open the "tomb". The marshmallow has disappeared!
The marshmallow melts while cooking, leaving only the puffed crescent roll.
This represents how Christ rose from the dead.
All that remained in the tomb were the linen burial wrappings.
These not only look great, but they taste great, also.
