Yummy Resurrection Crescent Rolls

This is a family tradition that we prepare every Easter for breakfast.  They are very easy and have great symbolism for the kids.   Here is the recipe:

a can of crescent rolls

melted butter

large marshmallows

cinammon and sugar mixed together 

1.  Preheat oven to 350.  

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

3.  Give each child a marshmallow.  This represents Jesus.

4.  Dip the marshmallow in melted butter and then in the spices.  This represents the embalming of Jesus' body.

5.  Then wrap up the marshmallow tightly.  Seal the marshmallow inside.  Wrapping of Jesus' body after death.

6.  Place in oven for 10-12 minutes. The oven represents the tomb.

7.  Let the rolls cool slightly.  When the children open their rolls, Jesus is no longer there.  The marshmallow disappears!!  HE IS RISEN.

We do this and the Resurrection Eggs every Easter.  Share your Easter traditions.  I would love to hear your ideas!!
