I used 2 crescent rolls per marshmallow. These were sticky, gooey, sweet, flaky, and positively delicious! My husband thought I was crazy (but held his tongue) when he saw what I was doing, but he loved the end result. Definitely a Easter tradition in the making!

We have made these for years, but we call them Cresent Puffs and put some glaze over the tops. They are yummy and my favorite part is the gooey middle where the marshmellow melts!! mmmmmmmmm

I loved the story behind these rolls and had the opportunity to share it with my kids friends recently (even though it was after Easter). I read most of the reviews and really tried to figure out how NOT to let them leak. First I tried by rolling each triangle a little thinner before rolling around the marshmellow. Next I tried the "seal with a fork" technique to close the edges of the dough. Last step was to apply a small dab onto the seams to try and seal them even more. Of course, it didn't work!! Maybe they are suppose to ooze out onto the pan! I did line the pan to prevent a big mess. The end result was a sweet tasting crescent! Kids loved them and wanted me to make more. Next time I will try them with *mini* marshmallows to see if they are easier to roll and seal.

I wanted to try this recipe as soon as I saw it... The taste to these is great, but they are not as easy to make as you'd think- Every single one of my "tombs" spilled out and stuck everywhere. So a warning to those just trying this- you may think that you sealed them tightly, but that doesn't make it safe! If I try this again, I will do as another reviewer suggested and wrap each marshmallow with two rolls.

These are always good! Even my husband who does not like marshmallows will eat them. After making several times I've found that the best way to contain the marshmallow ooze is to cook them in greased muffin tins instead of a baking sheet. Blessings!

Have been making these for several years at Easter. These are soooo good with a cup of coffee! Great kids recipe/ great lesson. I do have a problem with marshmallow leaking out, and I use 2 triangles of dough to cover the marshmallow.

They tasted great, but like others have suggested, wrap the extra triangle around the roll. All the mess in the pan from leaking is not fun to clean up!

My children and their cousins had a great time with these. It was a good lesson on the empty tomb as the first thing they said when eating was "Were is the marshmallow". I also omitted the sugar and used two triangles and wrapped around one marshmallow. Will definetly make this an Easter tradition! Thank you.

I found this recipe years ago and have been making them with my nieces, and then with my own kids every Easter ever since. A big family favorite. The kids always look forward to making them together just before the rest of the meal is ready. As we do, we talk about taking sinless Jesus (marshmallow), anointing Him in oils (butter) and incense (cinnamon), wrapping Him in the shroud (crescent roll), and then placing Him in the tomb (oven). We always make at least two batches and they go fast. It's so fun to see everyone open their "empty tombs" at the table. My advice: 1. don't skimp on the crescent rolls -- use the name brand. They really do hold up better; 2. Keep the crescents refrigerated till needed; 3. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes; 4. Don't worry about the leakage - they're just as good messy! Just use a stoneware baker with shallow sides or a jelly roll pan with a parchment paper liner; 5. When you serve, don't use napkins or doilies -- they can be very sticky.

Having read that other reviewers had difficulty with the marshmallow leaking out, I pinched and sealed mine so that NOTHING could get through the dough. Wrong! Some marshmallow seeped out of every one of them, some more than others. (It's not really a problem since you want the inside to be hollow anyway. When I make them again for Easter, I will take the advice of some of the other reviewers and use two pieces of crescent roll for each. The dough actually isn't very thick with one, so I don't think it would be too much. I will also leave out the sugar and just roll the marshmallows in butter then cinnamon. The marshmallows alone would make the rolls sweet enough. Good recipe, and a fun thing to try.

I am so glad that I tried these before Easter Sunday morning. This batch was a flop for me....and I cooked them exactly like the recipe called for. My "tombs" collapsed! I am going to try them again, and take a previous reviewer's advice by wrapping them with 2 triangles. I sealed mine up really good, but the marshmallows still oozed out. I would recommend cutting back the temperature (maybe to 375) and the time to 10-12 minutes. They were a little well done. I would definitely recommend a trial time if you are planning on using these for Easter Sunday morning!

Everyone in the family loved these. My kids eyes light up when they tasted them. Delish! They were fun to make also. The marshmallow leaked out of ours but it still left a "cave" and actually the oozy marshmallow made it more fun. I did not use the sugar because I thought they would be sweet enough with just the marshmallows.. they were. THANKS so much for this recipe. A new tradition! :) We won't wait until next Easter to make them again either. :)

Wow, thanks for a wonderful idea! I had no spills of the marshmallow -- only delicious, empty tombs! I dipped the marshmallows in butter, then rolled them in cinnamon-sugar. After rolling each marshmallow in one triangle, I rolled another triangle around it in the opposite direction. I crimped all edges, then rolled the entire thing in butter and then in the cinnamon-sugar. I baked them @ 375 for about 20 minutes; when I took them out of the oven, they smelled heavenly! There were absolutely no holes or leaks or any sign of the marshmallows on the outside, so it was just as much of a treat for me to break open the tomb to find it empty. My kids were in awe as they realized the lesson in what we had done -- that which our Savior has done for all of us! Thanks for a new & wonderful tradition.

Delicious! I didn't close some of the rolls all the way, but it just made a little enterance to the cave. Topped with "glory icing" (confectioner's sugar, melted butter, and milk) and they were fantastic. Anyone who liked this recipe may want to try making "Baby Jesus Rolls" by pinching off the pointy end of a crescent roll triangle and forming a ball, roll the rest of the dough like one would normally and stick the ball on the end. When baked it will look like a baby Jesus in swaddling clothes! Thanks for a great Easter recipe.

These tasted good, and I really thought I sealed them up real good and tight, but alas....the marshmallows still spilled out on the pan. Might try again another time and hope for better stuffed success.
