1 8-count package refrigerated crescent roll dough (I used the large rolls)8 large marshmallows
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
Separate the dough into eight triangles. Combine the sugar and cinnamon. Dip each marshmallow in butter. Next roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon-sugar and place one on each triangle. Roll up the marshmallow and seal the edges very well. Dip the top of each dough ball in the remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Place the dough ball sugar side up in a greased muffin tin. Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes.
The Symbolism
Marshmallow : the body of Jesus
Butter and cinnamon-sugar : spices and ointments (Luke 23:56; John 19:40)
Dough : the tomb (Luke 23:53)
Hollow roll : empty tomb (Luke 24: 6; Mark 16:6)
My girls loved learning about the true meaning of Easter this month. This is a simple recipe the girls could do all by themselves and it teaches a beautiful message. Our Savior died for us, broke the bands of death and rose again on the third day.
"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." -Matthew 28:5-6
