Resurrection Rolls

Resurrection Rolls are the perfect treat to make with your little ones to share the meaning of Easter.

Resurrection Rolls
One can of crescent roll dough
8 large marshmallows (or one for each roll you’ll be making)
Melted butter
Cinnamon sugar
Read John 19 while the oven is preheating to 350.
Unroll the crescent rolls and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Explain that this is like the cloth they wrapped Jesus in.
Give your child a marshmallow and explain that it represents Jesus,
all white and pure because He was without sin.
Roll the marshmallows in the melted butter.
This symbolizes the embalming oils.
Roll the marshmallows in the cinnamon sugar.
This is like the spices used to prepare his body for burial.
Wrap the marshmallow in the crescent roll cloth, pinching the dough together securely.  This represents how they wrapped Jesus’ body.
Put the rolls in the oven (symbolizing the tomb) and bake for 12 minutes.

While the rolls are baking, read John 20:1-18.

Open the tomb and remove the rolls. When they’re cool enough to handle, break one open and discover what happened to the marshmallow.
JESUS IS RISEN!
Happy Easter!

    I just found this in pinterest. Couldn't wait to try. The one thing I would say – make sure you pinch your seams securely (I know you mention it – I just need to stress it). I didn't get them secure enough and my marshmallow went everywhere :-) they were still delicious though and the kids got the point :-) Thanks!

    Kathy says:

    These are delicous!! However, no matter how hard I tried to pinch them together and not leak, it didn’t happen. is there a secret to that because I tried really hard. They were still the bomb diggity!!!

    • 22
      Allie says:

      I don’t know if there is a “secret”. I pinched all of mine closed tight too and a few of mine leaked out and others didn’t so I just think they can be a bit tricky. I’m glad you still enjoyed them :)

    I just wanted to say that I think this recipe and the meaning is brilliant! I love it! I have three boys 6, 10, 13 and I know they know the meaning behind Easter and the resurrection. But what a great say to drive the point home that they’ll never forget. Sometimes you have to get back to the basics without getting to deep into the meaning of the scriptures, and this is perfect! I’m so glad I came across it. Thank you!

    What a delicious looking Bible lesson! We made the overnight cookies one time, but I think the kids will love this even more. With the overnight cookies, we “sealed the tomb” by putting masking tape on the cool oven. I wonder if the tape would be okay with a hot oven?

    Thanks for this wonderful idea!!

    I just made these and all the marshmallow leaked out. I’m going to try wetting the edges next time, also do you think biscuits would work better? but they were so tasty !!! thank you so much.

    • 43
      Allie says:

      I don’t know why the marshmallow leaks out of some and not the others. I had that happen to some of mine too. I haven’t tried biscuits before but let me know how it works out if you do :)

        Madalyn says:

        Are they easy to make?  Could a 12 year old make these by herself or would it be too hard?

        • 45
          Allie says:

          These are easy to prepare. The only tricky part is wrapping it around the marshmallow so that the marshmallow doesn’t escape and leak out during the baking. Good luck!

    Jordan says:

    Hi,

    I’m thinking of doing this for our childrens church group on easter but I would be baking the rolls a few hours before the kids will eat them. Do you think that will work ok? Will they still taste as yummy?

    Thanks!

    • 56
      Allie says:

      The rolls will still turn out and taste yummy if you make them ahead of time. You might want to demonstrate the process of making the roll to the children and tell them the story that goes along with it before pulling out their already made yummy treat :)

    Allie, What an awesome idea!! I have a six yr old son that will love making these! He knows Jesus died and rose again at Easter and will be over the moon to tell his little friends at school about the cool treats he and Mommy got to make showing the empty tomb!!

    We did these for Family Home Evening last night with our 2 year-old. It really turned out better than expected. While I was explaining the different elements {marshmellow=Jesus, butter=oils, etc} I was thinking, “maybe this is too over his head?”. While Dad took him in to get into pj’s, a marshmellow in his hand, I heard him say “this is Jesus” {holding up the marshmellow}. Little one’s know….they know. Thank you for sharing something that will become a tradition in our house at Easter time. I have also shared this on my blog that I do with my good friend Nan, She Said, with a link to your post mnsaid.blogspot.com. Thanks again!

This was a great blessing for my family today! (Not to mention how tasty they are!!)

      You could make homemade rolls and use the dough as a substitute. That would involve quite a bit more time and effort but I’m sure would be very tasty!

    I read every response to your blog for the Resurrection Rolls, so I won’t repeat all the wonderful exclamations.

Putting stories of Christ together with hands on, beginning to end participation, will remain with the children ALL OF THEIR LIVES! May God Bless You for sharing with all of us anonymous internet people and may God Bless your family too!

    What a great lesson!  Would you please tell me if you used unsalted butter and what your ratio of cinnamon and sugar?  Thanks!

      I used salted butter but unsalted would work too. I don’t have an exact ratio for the cinnamon sugar, I just eyeball it. If I had to guess, I would say maybe 1/2 cup sugar to a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon. Hope this helps :)

    Sandi says:

    I made these last night, and though they tasted pretty good, but the marshmallows did not disappear in any of them. Instead they turned into giant baseball sized marshmallows while cooking. After the buns cooled the marshmallows did shrink some but they were still there. Maybe I did something wrong, I don’t know.

      Allie says:

      I’m sorry they didn’t turn out for you. I’m not sure what went wrong…

    • 96
      kate says:

      My guess is that the marshmallows weren’t covered covered completely in melted butter… i would imagine that’s the only possible way they might expand rather than melt

    Bonnie says:

    My mom made these years ago when I was a teenager. Warning from lesson learned: Make sure you seal the croissant roll’s edges completely. My mom wasn’t so careful and while in the oven, when the marshmallows got hot enough, they exploded, squirting out of the crescent rolls like geysers. We all watched in awe. It was hilarious, but messy. My mom spent hours cleaning the oven.

    Made these this morning as we emerged unscathed from Hurricane Isaac. The kids loved helping (and eating stray marshmallows). The rolls were Delicious, but they ended up as huge, toasty marshmallow cribs. I wish I could share a picture here. We laughed and laughed at the mutant things we had made. And enjoyed every bite of the icky sticky goodness!

    I have no children, parents, or siblings, and I’ve always wanted to share my stories and recipes on a blog, but I just have no idea of how to do it.  The sites I’ve been to for “beginners” is in another language to me!  Perhaps if you have the time or inclination, you could give me a few pointers.

    Michelle says:

    These look like a lot of fun. And, for those who were a little turned off by them being called “Hocus Pocus” Rolls, it might be interesting to hear one theory behind the origins of the phrase:

    (from worldwidewords.org) Many people today believe it originated in a corrupted form of the words of the consecration of the host in the old Latin mass: hoc est (enim) corpus (meum), “this is my body” Interesting idea, since those words were said by Jesus Thursday evening in the Upper Room as he gathered with his disciples. Just some food for thought! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    Wonderful way to explain to small children.  Excellent!

  103. 131
    Tina says:

    I just made these. They didn’t turn out like I had expected! First off, the marshmallow does NOT “disappear” like it was said to. It just puffs up and overflows the sides and tops of the bun. You do not have to cook these any longer than 8 minutes. They are not as pretty as the picture and they don’t come out a soft as they look. They taste good, but they’re not delicious. Nothing really all that special. I was expecting them to taste as good as they look here and I was disappointed. I won’t make these again.

    Not only does this sound like a delicious recipe, I absolutely love the significance behind them and how they can be a tool to teach children the story of Easter. Absolutely lovely on each and every level.

    We just made these and the kids loved making them, hearing the Easter story, and eating them too, yum!  I asked my 5 year old daughter where Jesus went when we cut open the roll, her response was “IN MY TUMMY”.  Thanks Allie for sharing these with us.  Love your blog, of course!!!  Tanya

    Thanks for giving us such an easy and visual way to teach our children that Jesus was white! The Grand Kleagle told me this past Saturday it was the best thing he’d ever seen for getting our children on the right path before secular society can warp their minds with all that “multi-culturalism.”

    Hi Allie! We love making resurrection rolls every year. Just wanted to pop in and let you know that I included your recipe in a roundup of Easter activities to point kids toward the cross.

    Thanks for sharing, and Happy Easter!

    I love this, and the fact that you tied the baking steps (butter and cinnamon) to the burial steps was completely genius! I’ll be sharing this on my blog for Easter! Thanks for your recipe!
