Description
Making Empty Tomb Rolls together are the perfect kid friendly Easter morning breakfast or treat to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of refrigerated Crescent Rolls or Biscuits -you could also use homemade dough -even better! We used the refrigerated Jumbo biscuits for ours.
- 8–10 Large Marshmallows
- Melted Butter {around 1/4 cup}
- 1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (or whatever the package directions say)
- Mix the sugar & cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Keep the melted butter in a separate bowl.
- Give each person a crescent roll triangle or a biscuit dough circle (with our biscuits, we used a rolling pin to flatten them a bit & make them larger or just use the palm of your hands to flatten them) – This represents the tomb where Jesus was buried.
- Give each person a marshmallow – this represents the body of Christ
- First dip your marshmallow in the melted butter – make sure it’s covered in butter on all sides. Then roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon/sugar mixture so it’s coated.
- Next, lay the cinnamon/sugar coated marshmallow in the center of the crescent roll or biscuit. Then carefully wrap the dough around the marshmallow & make sure to pinch the seams really good to keep the marshmallow in.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake your rolls according to the package directions. Let them cool.
- Have your children “break open the tomb” and see that the tomb is empty & Christ is gone – He is risen!
