He Has Risen! Rolls

These rolls are easy, messy and oh so yummy!  I ended up doing all the work, but went over the meaning with the boys during the process.  These would be perfect for Easter morning! Just may have to make them again! 

You will need the following:
•1/2 stick of butter (melted)
•1 can of large refrigerated rolls
•Large marshmallows (8 of them)
•A bowl of cinnamon and sugar mix

Preheat oven to 350. 
The white marshmallow represents Jesus who was pure and sinless.

Roll the marshmallows in butter and then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. The butter represents the anointing oil and the cinnamon-sugar mixture represents the spices--spices were put on Jesus' body before they laid him in the tomb.

Wrap the biscuit around the marshmallow and seal the dough around it. This part is very important--make sure the dough is completely sealed around the marshmallow. After they put Jesus in the tomb, they rolled a large stone in front of it to seal it.

Next roll the ball of dough in butter and then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.  Place on the cookie sheet.
Tip: As you wrap the dough around the marshmallow make a special effort to pinch the dough together. Make sure that the side where you did the "pinching" and "sealing" becomes the "bottom" of the tomb/roll. This will help keep the roll sealed.
Otherwise, this will happen (see below). The roll will come apart while baking, exposing the marshmallow and it will ooze out.

Bake the rolls for about 10-12 minutes or until done.  I had to bake mine for about 14 minutes. 
 

 
 
Let the rolls cool a bit and serve.
Encourage your child to break open the tomb to look for Jesus. Where is he? He has risen!

How do the He Has Risen! rolls taste? "Taste and see that the Lord is good..." Psalm 34:8


The rolls taste so sweet!  Easter is a time to celebrate the sweetest gift of all--our salvation through Jesus Christ. Although he was blameless, he died on the cross for our sins; was buried in a tomb and then rose from the dead.
