Resurrection Rolls

Note: I used to make these by preparing the sweet yeast dough Sunday morning. Since having kids, my time is more limited on Sunday morning, so I use this recipe instead. Brian says he likes it better anyway.

Ingredients:
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
8 large marshmallows
Melted butter
Cinnamon
Sugar

Directions:
1. Give each child one triangle shaped section of crescent roll. This represents the tomb.
2. Each child takes one marshmallow which represents the body of Christ.
3. Dip the marshmallow in the butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This represents the oils and spices the body was anointed with upon burial.
4. Lay the marshmallow on the dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow.
5. Make sure all seams are pinched together well. (Otherwise the marshmallow will "ooze" out of the seams)
6. Bake 15-20 minutes.
7. Cool.
8. Break open the tomb and the body of Christ is no longer there!!
9. Celebrate God's love!
