Resurrection Buns

This activity represents the tomb being empty on Easter Morning. This is a great activity to do with children on Easter Morning.

Thanks to D. Emerson for sharing this recipe!

Ingredients:
frozen bread dough
one bag marshmallows
cinnamon-sugar mixture
butter (melted)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 325.
  
  
• Take bread dough (thawed in fridge) and cut into squares about 1/4 in thick.
  
  
• Take 1 marshmallow and place it in the center of the dough.
  
  
• Now "fold" the dough around the marshmallow.
  
  
• Dip the ball of dough in the melted butter and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until covered.
  
  
• Place on cookie sheet and bake at 325 for about 10-15 min. or until golden brown.
  
  
• Allow buns to cool. The buns which were full when they went into the oven will now be empty -- just like the tomb where Christ was laid!
  
  
• Consider reading the Easter story aloud while enjoying these seasonal treats.
