It’s my last Easter recipe post of the season, and there is no better way to end than with a reminder that you should totally make these Resurrection Rolls for your kids or grandkids. This little recipe is such a simple (and delicious!) way to share with kids the story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Below, you’ll even find a video just showing you how easy these rolls are to whip up.
If you have any young kiddos in your life, I cannot recommend this idea more! I hope it helps some of you explain the true meaning of Easter to your family.
Here’s the video…
Easy as that!
And here’s the recipe for you to follow as you make your batch this year…

Resurrection Rolls: HOW TO VIDEO!
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 12 minutes
- Total Time: 17 minutes
- Yield: 8 rolls
Description
An easy and delicious way for you to explain the death and resurrection to your kiddos each Easter season!
Ingredients
-
1 can of crescent rolls
-
about 3 tablespoons of sugar
-
1/2 a tablespoon of cinnamon
-
8 large marshmallows
-
2 tablespoons of melted butter
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
-
Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up) and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Set aside. Combine your sugar and cinnamon in a little bowl, set aside.
-
Unroll each of your crescent rolls into triangles (representing the wrappings Christ was wrapped in after he was crucified). Next, take each marshmallow (representing Christ) and first dip it in the melted butter (representing the oils they anointed Christ with) and then dip it in your spice mixture (representing the spices they used on Christ’s body after he died). Place each marshmallow in the center of a crescent roll and roll it up tightly completely covering the marshmallow (representing the tomb).
-
Place your baking sheet in the oven and bake about 10 to 12 minutes or until the outsides of your rolls are lightly browned.
-
Remove from oven. When you go to serve these and they are sliced open, you will notice that your marshmallow is gone…just like Christ was three days later.
Happy almost Easter!!

Do you think you could make these in the air fryer? I wanted to make them with my students at school!

I have never tried. If you do, please, please let me know!

Preheat air fryer – then 350 for 6 minutes!
