The rolls are easy, messy and oh so yummy! And would be perfect to make on Easter morning, but I am not even going to try it. Getting ready for church on any Sunday is hard enough for our family.
Throw in an Easter basket full of (DYE FREE) candy and treats that are FULL of SUGAR, NO THANK YOU! Two almost eight year old boys bouncing around the kitchen trying to help me make these does not sound like fun!
We made these last night after supper and had our Bible study time centered around the making of the rolls. The boys loved getting in on the action as well as my husband who was craving crawfish at the time......you'll understand shortly.
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.
While me and the boys made our "rolls" my dear sweet crawfish craving husband made a marshmallow pistolette (crawfish pistolettes ). His actually turned out better than any of the others.
Anyway an important tip for you below.
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. 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.
