Happy Friday, friends!
Okay, I will forever share this Easter recipe with you.
If you have young kiddos in your life, you should totally make these Resurrection Rolls. 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.
My kids and I made these many years in a row, and each and every time, it was a simple (and delicious!) way to share the true meaning of Easter with them.
I hope your family loves them too!
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!!

I never comment but I just wanted to share that I started this tradition years ago with my kids because of your blog and it’s still one of their favorite things to do over Easter weekend – even for my 9 year old! (they call it “putting Jesus in the oven” 🤣) Your content lately has been encouraging me to treasure these sweet memories because I don’t know how long they will be excited about baking treats with me in the kitchen. In fact, I appreciate all your gentle reminders to live fully and joyfully in our season and choose gratitude as much as possible!
