Easter is here! We are always looking for ways to celebrate the Savior during this holiday, and this is a tradition I love. Empty Tomb Rolls are symbolic of the empty tomb found on Easter Sunday. When the women went to visit Jesus’ tomb, Jesus was gone. Angels declared, “He is not here: for He is risen.”

When you bake these rolls, talk to your kids about the Resurrection. Show them the marshmallow you tuck inside the dough and point out that the marshmallow is gone when you eat the rolls together.

I know a lot of recipes are homemade. I prefer to use Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls because, well, it’s less work for me! Plus, the dough is already divided perfectly for you! All you need to do is add a cinnamon sugar covered marshmallow to each roll and you’re golden!

Make sure to really smother that marshmallow in cinnamon sugar! It’s what gives the rolls the sugary-goodness flavor! Sometimes I have to make some more cinnamon sugar than what the recipe calls for. Eh, no biggie. Just make more! I usually don’t even measure the cinnamon and the sugar. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

When I tuck the marshmallow in, I pull 4 “corners” up over top of the marshmallow and pinch. From there I pull up the rest of the corners and seal the dough. And in one swift motion, while my fingers are still pinching and holding the roll, I dunk it in the butter and the cinnamon sugar and then place the pinched side down on a grease cookie sheet.
