Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent rolls
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tbsp cinnamon, ground
- ¼ cup sugar
- 8 marshmallows
Steps:
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. In another small bowl melt the butter completely.
- These 3 ingredients represent the 3 days that Jesus was in the tomb.
- Next, open up your package of crescent rolls and separate them into the 8 different triangles.
- The crescent dough represents the linens that Jesus’ body was wrapped in.
- Next, take a marshmallow and roll it into the melted butter. Once completely coated in butter, roll it into your cinnamon sugar mix coating the whole marshmallow. Once its covered wrap the marshmallow entirely with the dough sealing all the edges.
- The white marshmallow represents our sinless Savior.
- The butter represents the oil Jesus was anointed with.
- Wrapping it up represents Jesus being wrapped in linen and spices.
- Next, roll the dough ball into the butter and the cinnamon sugar mixture and place in a muffin tin.
- Once you’ve created all your rolls, bake them in the oven according to the baking temperature and time on your crescent roll package.
- Baking the rolls represents the 3 days Jesus was in the tomb.
- Once you take the rolls out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Tear open the rolls and the marshmallow should be completely melted creating the look of an empty tomb!
