Marshmallow Delights "Empty Tomb"

By Christie

These are often referred to as "Empty Tomb" rolls that can be made at Easter. They are an easy object lesson to explain about the resurrection because the disappearing marshmallow is supposed to represent Jesus being risen.
Here's a breakdown of the symbolism:
° Large Marshmallows - body of Jesus
° Melted Butter - oils of embalming
° Cinnamon & Sugar Mix - spices used to anoint the body
° Crescent Roll - the wrapping of Jesus' body or the tomb
° Oven - the tomb
° Cavity in Bun - the empty tomb or the empty cloths

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 8 large marshmallows
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Separate rolls into eight triangles. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip each marshmallow into butter, roll in cinnamon-sugar and place on a triangle. Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges. (Make sure to seal well or all the marshmallow will escape)
Dip tops of dough into remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Place with sugar side up in greased muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F for 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
