There are couple different sources around the web but basically the recipe is a can (8 count) of crescant rolls, cinnamon sugar, melted butter, and 8 large marshmallows. Just google Resurrection Rolls and you should several versions.. pick the one that best suits your beliefs.
We read in John about the burial of the body (marshmallow) of the Savior, with the oils (melted butter) and spices (cinnamon sugar) and the linen (the crescant roll dough.) And then laid in the tomb (on the cookie sheet and into the oven.)
While waiting we colored pictures and talked about how Mary found the empty tomb.
When they were done baking, I asked the kids if the marshmallow represents the Savior's body, will the marshmallow still be inside the dough? Kody yelled a bold "NO! It went to heaven." And Peter-Leo well he gave our usual speech about the heat melting the marshmellow into the folds of the dough and..." well you get the point.
However, they both (ok all three of us) were thrilled when we opened our roll and there was NO marshmallow!
I hope everyone had a blessed Easter Sunday and that we all remembered why we celebrate this "holiday."
God bless!
