Here's a fun snack to make with your kiddos that is both delish and also helps them to celebrate Easter in a fun and different way:
Ingredients: 1 package refrigerated cresecent roll dough, 8 large marshmallows, 2 T. melted butter, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 T. sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Give each child one triangle of crescent dough and a marshmallow. (The roll represents the cloth that Jesus' body was wrapped in and the marshmallow represents Jesus. Just go with it, guys!) Have each child dip the marshmallow in the melted butter. (You can explain that this represents the embalming oils). Next, dip the marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar. (These represent the spices used to anoint Jesus' body). Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll - not like a typical crescent roll, but bring up and seal the marshmallow inside. (This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after His death). Put the rolls on an ungreased cookie sheet and place them in the oven. (This represents Jesus' tomb).
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, cool slightly.
When rolls are cool, the kids can open up their rolls (the burial cloths) and discover that Jesus (marshmallow) is no longer there! NOTE: IF the crescent rolls are sealed well, the marshmallow will melt and the roll will be puffed up, but empty.
HE IS RISEN!
Slightly cheesy, but fun!

Amy, you always have the most fun and creative ideas. I'm lucky if I even make dinner, let alone some crafty, ingenious snack!
We've made these before, and the cookies too! The kids really enjoyed making them, and eating them of course! :P It's such a great creative way to tell the story of Jesus :)
