Resurrection buns

Jesus is alive!

We started doing this project on Easter morning about 2 or 3 years ago. Its very sticky and yummy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Resurrection buns

1 or more cans of crescent rolls (or other dough, homemade or otherwise)
large marshmallows
Cinnamon and sugar mix
about 1/4 Cup of melted butter

1. Roll each marshmallow into a piece of dough so that it is completely covered, you can pinch the creases to make sure it is sealed. The marshmallows represent Jesus and the dough is the tomb.

2. Roll the bun in butter and then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

3. Place buns on a greased baking sheet. (You will want to use one with a lip as there will be gooey sugar coming out of the buns).

4. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

5. Remove plastic and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove buns quickly from the baking sheet as they will stick hard if allowed to cool. When the buns are open the marshmallow is gone and the tomb is empty!

Jesus is alive!
