the sweetest Victory!

i can't wait to make these resurrection rolls with the kids on Sunday. i think they're meant to be for breakfast, but we do well just to get to church somewhat on time!! so we will be doing these at nana's house for dessert. i'll be sure to tell all about this with pictures after easter, but i thought i'd share the recipe beforehand in case any of you want to do this with your kids this weekend. what a wonderful (and delicious!) way to illustrate Christ's resurrection to children! i hope that we'll make this an easter tradition.

Easter Resurrection Rolls

 

Ingredients

1. 1 pkg. Crescent rolls
2. Melted butter
3. 8 Large marshmallows
4. Cinnamon Sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls. (The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.)
3. Give each child a marshmallow. (This represents Jesus and His purity.)
4. Have the child dip the marshmallow in melted butter. (This represents the oils of embalming.)
5. Then dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar. (This represents the spices used to anoint the body.)
6. Then wrap up the coated marshmallow TIGHTLY in the crescent roll. Make sure you bring the sides up & seal the marshmallow inside. (This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.)
7. Place in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 mins. (The oven represents the tomb. Pretend like it was three days!)
8. 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 melts and the crescent roll is puffed up, but empty.
