At Stay-at-Home Parents, Guide Barbara Whiting wrote a wonderful article about how these rolls can be used to teach children about Jesus' resurrection. Take a look at her article, then make these rolls. And these rolls are good any time of the year, not just at Easter!
Prep Time: 0 hour, 15 minutes
Cook Time: 0 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 16 large marshmallows
- 1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 16 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Lining them with paper cups won't work - the finished rolls will stick to the paper liners. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, flour and 1 tsp. cinnamon; mix well and set aside.
Separate dough into 16 triangles. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on each triangle and press slightly into dough. Place a marshmallow on shortest side of triangle. Roll up starting at shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point, completely covering marshmallow with dough; firmly pinch edges to seal.
Dip roll in melted butter and roll in remaining cinnamon sugar mixture; place in sprayed muffin cup. Repeat with remaining marshmallows.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. (Place foil or a cookie sheet on rack below muffin cups to catch spills). Remove from oven; cool 1 minute. Remove rolls from muffin cups and place on wire racks to cool. Makes 16 sweet rolls
