Great concept and favors, but mine oozed out just like so many other comments. I made extra sure that all the seams were sealed but that didn't help. Tasted good.

I used the name brand crescent rolls and they turned out great! No problems with stuff oozing out. **** The only changes we made to the recipe were adding a teaspoon of vanilla to the butter and dipping the uncooked rolls in butter and the cinnamon/sugar mixture after they had a marshmallow sealed inside. They were VERY yummy! Even the adults enjoyed eating the Resurrection Rolls. ***** I made the rolls with 6 children ages 7 and under. The story and rolls together were great for demonstrating the miracle of the empty tomb!

This was so simple, my 8 year old son did most of it. I used the large rolls as suggested and the muffin tins to contain any blowouts, which were minimal. The rolls are perfect, sweet enough but not to sweet, great with a cup of coffee. Will definitely make again!

I made these years ago and jumped on AllRecipes to find a good recipe to do them again. This one is perfect, except for one thing: 400 degrees for fifteen minutes charred mine! I made a second batch at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, and they were perfect. Further, the whole of the Resurrection symbolism wasn't shared! Jesus is the marshmallow, and He is anointed with oil (butter) and spices (the cinnamon and sugar) before he is wrapped in expensive cloth (dough) and placed in the tomb (oven). Our our year old caught the whole of the Easter story through this symbolism. It's quite clever.

Surprised by the many comments about the rolls "leaking" and the marshmallows "exploding out". The marshmallow is designed to keep the roll's shape until it is "set". Then the marshmallow is supposed to melt and seep out. It is messy, so line a lipped cookie sheet w/foil or bake in a muffin tin. These are also called Empty Tomb Rolls. The space where the marshmallow used to be is now a cave... It's a great teaching tool. It takes nice and the lesson is memorable. My oldest is 10 and still asks for them each Easter.

Although not the tastiest rolls, these were so much fun to make with my preschool class at church. I gave each child a marshmellow to represent Jesus which they dipped in the butter. Each child had a bowl of cinnamon and sugar to represent sin. They wrapped their crescent roll around the marshmellow. I baked them in silicone cupcake holders which kept things mostly clean.

Just made these and OMG! they are soooo good. What a fun easter project and food!!! A big thanks to KarenCooks for the symbolism of each ingredient. They do make a mess but I will try in muffin tins next time as another viewer suggested. Kids loved making and eating. Double batch next time. I used the lg. crescent rolls but they still leaked. Will try with different buiscuits. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
