From the Dead: Resurrection Rolls, A delicious way to celebrate Easter

With crescent roll dough and marshmallows, Resurrection Rolls are really simple to prepare. An excellent Easter meal that the kids will enjoy. This recipe for Resurrection Rolls is incredibly straightforward and conveys the true meaning of Easter Sunday. Additionally, a Southern Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without some bread options on the kitchen table. These Easter rolls, often called Empty Tombs, symbolize the empty tomb after Jesus’ resurrection. Rolls with marshmallows wrapped inside that become hollow as they bake are meant to resemble Jesus’ tomb on Easter morning since they are empty inside when you tear them open. The fluffy treat slipping out of the bread represents how Jesus disappeared from the grave. However, whereas Christ atoned for humankind’s sins and rose to paradise, the marshmallow only adds a sweet coating to the cinnamon-flavored crescent roll.
