To make Resurrection Rolls:

1. Open the crescent rolls and lay them out.

We did a talk some time ago on How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract. It is actually much easier than it sounds and so much better than the fake stuff.

This picture shows a bottle of homemade Vanilla extract.

3. Mix the Cinnamon and sugar.

There are some people that are allergic to Cinnamon so be sure no one is allergic to Cinnamon before you proceed. If this is the case, omit the Cinnamon and just go with the sugar.

4. Roll a marshmallow in the butter.

10. Cook at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Let the rolls get to a nice golden brown but be careful that they do now burn. The Cinnamon sugar may ooze out of the roll and become very hard and crunchy.

The idea here is that the marshmallow inside the roll will melt away leaving a hollow roll but will leave behind the sweet marshmallow flavor. The Cinnamon sugar will be a bit crispy around the edges. If you cook it to just golden brown, the outside will be crisp and the inside will be soft, and sweet.

11. Take the baking pan out of the oven and let the rolls cool just a bit. Do Not let the rolls totally cool on the pan or they will stick to the paper.

12. Place the Resurrection Rolls on a plate.

13. Eat and enjoy.

This picture shows one of the Resurrection Rolls broken in half. There is a hollow center that is lined with Cinnamon on the inside and outside.

These are great when warm but still very good after they are cooled.

Add a cup of coffee and you have a nice, warm, comfy snack.

And that is all there is to it. Resurrection Rolls are fun to eat, with a hollow center, and a sweet, marshmallow, Cinnamon taste.
