Resurrection Rolls

Each month we try a different cooking activity, called Snazzy Snacks, and this month our snack tied into Lent and the story of Easter. 

We began by dipping a marshmallow in melted butter and rolling it in cinnamon and sugar. 

Then we wrapped the marshmallow up in a crescent roll. Students were careful not to leave any little holes!

Then the little roll was dipped in melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. 

We popped the rolls into the oven. 

When they came out, they smelled AMAZING! As students bit in, they discovered that the roll was empty inside! What a surprise! 

These Resurrection Rolls are more than a tasty snack. They represent the empty tomb that was left on Easter morning. Jesus died, was wrapped in garments and placed in a tomb, much like our marshmallow was wrapped up. After three days of waiting, the tomb is empty! Jesus is alive! He is risen!

These rolls are a really delicious and simple way to retell the Easter Story. Why not make them again at home, and have your child share the Easter Story with your family?
