I came across this meaningful recipe last year but unfortunately it was right after Easter. I saved it knowing it was something I wanted to do with the girls this year. I love that it is a visual story/lesson of our risen Savior. The girls really got into the activity and asked several questions. This will most definitely be a Easter tradition in our family from now on. Not to mention they tast heavenly. 
RECIPE
Ingredients:
One can of crescent roll dough
8 large marshmallows (or one for each roll you’ll be making)
Melted butter
Cinnamon sugar mix (two tablespoons each of white sugar, ground cinnamon and brown sugar)
Bible
Assemble rolls and read the story:
1. Read John 19 while the oven is pre-heating according to the package directions.
2. Unroll the crescent rolls. Separate into individual triangles. Explain that this is like the cloth they wrapped Jesus in.
3. Give your child a marshmallow and explain that it represents Jesus… all white and pure because He was without sin.
4. Roll the marshmallows in the melted butter. This symbolizes the embalming oils.
5. Roll the marshmallows in the cinnamon sugar. This is like the spices used to prepare his body for burial.
6. Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the cresent roll
(not like a typical cresent roll up, but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside, otherwise the marshmallow will leak out.) Don’t worry about the shape so much, they’ll taste the same no matter how you roll or bundle them. This represents how they would have wrapped Jesus’ body. I like to brush them with more melted butter, but it’s not necessary.
7. Put the rolls in the oven (symbolizing the tomb) and bake for the amount of time specified on the package.
8. While the rolls are baking, read John 20:1-18.
9. Open the tomb and remove the rolls. When they’re cool enough to handle, break one open and discover what happened to the marshmallow.
JESUS IS RISEN
The marshmallow melts and the cresent roll is puffed up, but like the tomb – IT IS EMPTY
