Easy Resurrection Rolls

Continued from the Easter Bread Series:


Note:  I know many folks scoff at the idea of canned crescent rolls and store-bought marshmallows.  If  you are one of these scoffers, please feel free to substitute in your favorite recipes here.  I cannot guarantee the success of your endeavors, but I wish you luck nonetheless.

I've served these at Easter one time and I used it as an appetizer prepared by myself and my lovely young nieces and nephews.  The ease of this recipe, I found, kept their attention better and was a stress-free and fun way to learn about Easter.

Also, I rarely condone going overboard with appetizers and snack foods unless they are the focal point of your meal or get-together.  Most people only eat 1-2 pieces of any snacks at a party, and they're usually more interested in a natural, gourmet entree, anyway.  But, like I said, feel free to go nuts with your recipe!





Easy Resurrection Rolls

1 can crescent rolls
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Large marshmallows





Preheat oven 350F.

Pour melted butter into one small bowl, and combine cinnamon and sugar into another small bowl.

Roll out the crescent roll dough into a flat square.  Cut the dough in squares large enough to contain one of the marshmallows.

Take one marshmallow, and dip in butter.  Follow with a quick roll in cinnamon sugar.

Place marshmallow in crescent roll dough.  I close mine with pinched edges on top, similar to a potsticker.

Bake according to crescent roll can directions.

The marshmallow will melt inside the crescent dough leave an empty center.
