Resurrection Rolls

The angel said to the women," Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as he said." Matthew 28:5-6

This morning Charlie wasn't feeling well, so we decided to skip another Easter egg hunt and have a lazy day. We made resurrection rolls for breakfast. Charlie's kindergarten teacher gave me the idea on her blog. It's a very simple way to show them the true meaning of Easter. Jesus is represented by the marshmallow. It is dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon and sugar to represent preparing his body for burial. The last step is sealing up the tomb in crescent rolls. When the rolls are ready, they are pulled apart to reveal a hollow center. The marshmallow has melted and "Jesus" is not there.

Charlie managed to gobble them up despite the fact that he is now a double snag!!
