"Empty Tomb" Marshmallow Delights

The generosity shown to me after I had Wes was unbelievable. Not only did my church friends bring in meals for 5 days but my friends brought in 4 meals after that. Usually I have food issues. I'm not sure where it stemmed from. Maybe it's just that I have found one too many hairs in food. Anyway, unless I know you well...and know that you are a clean cook I am wary of your food. A bit snobbish, but it's the truth. After I had the baby, however, I didn't even think about any of that. I was humbled and truly grateful for everyones willingness to help make a meal.


My friend Wendy is an amazing cook and brought in these babies as dessert with her meal. The marshmallow melts inside the roll creating a juicy sauce. It's like an inside out cinnamon roll. I have heard these referred to as "Empty Tomb" rolls that can be made at Easter. They are easy to make with kids and they invite the opportunity to explain about the ressurection because the disappearing marshmallow is supposed to represent Jesus being risen.

Here's a breakdown of the symbolism:
  • Large Marshmallows - body of Jesus
  • Melted Butter - oils of embalming
  • Cinnamon & Sugar Mix- spices used to annoint the body.
  • Crescent Roll - the wrapping of Jesus’ body or the tomb.
  • Oven – the tomb
  • Cavity in bun – the empty tomb or the empty cloths
Marshmallow Delights
by Wendy Weisenburger and found on allrecipes

1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, melted

Separate rolls into eight triangles. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip each marshmallow into butter, roll in cinnamon-sugar and place on a triangle. Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges. *Make sure to seal well or all the marshmallow will escape.

Dip tops of dough into remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Place with sugar side up in greased muffin cups. It helps to use jumbo muffin tins so that the juice doesn't overflow.

Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes. Eat warm.
