Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Melt butter in a small, shallow dish.
3. In another shallow dish, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
4. Roll out crescents. Dip a marshmallow in the butter, then the cinnamon sugar mixture then place it in the center of the crescent. Fold up the top two corners then roll the crescent up to the skinny end. Seal up all the edges super tight, making sure there are no holes. Repeat with remaining crescents and marshmallows.
5. Place crescents on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, mix together remaining butter and cinnamon sugar and brush it on the top of the crescents. Place in the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes or until crescents are light golden brown and puffy.
6. Allow to cool slightly before serving. |

Notes: The Resurrection Story:
Pretend Jesus is a marshmallow.
Here’s the story. The marshmallow represents Jesus. After Jesus dies on the cross, his friends prepare him to be buried by anointing him with oil (dipping the marshmallow in butter) and spices (rolling it in cinnamon and sugar). At this point, you put the rolls on the baking sheet and place them in the tomb (oven) and seal the tomb with a big rock (the oven door).
In the oven the marshmallow melts and blends with the cinnamon sugar, making it appear like the marshmallow has disappeared. When you remove the rolls and allow them to cool, you can let your kids open them up to reveal that Jesus is gone! He is risen! Jesus is alive!
Note: You can also make these in a muffin tin lined with paper cupcake liners. This method helps contain the mess, but I've also noticed the marshmallow usually stays intact with this method, so I wouldn't use it if you're specifically trying to tell the resurrection story.
