Resurrection Rolls

Resurrection Rolls
(aka easy-peasy cinnamon rolls)

When I was in the primary in West Seattle we made these for Easter time.  My family loves them so we have them often. 

You will need:
Crescent rolls
Large marshmallows
Cinnamon
Sugar
Melted Butter

Warning: these are very gooey so I usually put aluminum foil over the baking sheet for easier clean up. 

First, unroll the crescent rolls.  Take a marshmallow and dip it in the melted butter.  Roll it in the cinnamon and sugar until well coated.  Put the marshmallow on an unrolled crescent roll and roll the dough around the marshmallow pinching the sides closed.  When they are all ready, bake following the normal package directions.  (Which I think is 350 for 9 to 11 min, but check.)  The marshmallow will melt, leak out, goo everywhere, etc. 

Here is why they are called resurrection rolls:  The marshmallow is the body.  You embalm it in oil (butter) and rub it with spices (cinnamon and sugar).  Then you wrap it in the swaddling clothes (the dough) and put it in the tomb (the oven).  When you open it up the body will be gone.  There will be an empty space in the roll.  The primary kids loved it.  My family just likes eating them.  Enjoy.
