These Fluffy Easter Resurrection Rolls are a cozy, hands-on treat featuring marshmallows wrapped in cinnamon-sugar dough, baked until golden and hollow inside—a sweet, meaningful addition to any Easter brunch. Simple ingredients and five easy steps make them perfect for family gatherings and little helpers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 large marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Vanilla glaze (optional: 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 2 teaspoons milk + 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract mixed smooth)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt butter in a separate bowl.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Dip each marshmallow in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar to coat.
  4. Place each marshmallow at the wide end of a dough triangle. Fold dough over marshmallow and pinch all edges to seal completely. Roll gently into a ball.
  5. Arrange rolls on the baking sheet, brush tops with leftover butter, and sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar if desired. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
  6. Let rolls cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

Seal dough edges tightly to prevent marshmallow leaks. Chill dough if sticky. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use appropriate dough and butter substitutes. Add chocolate chips or citrus zest for variations. Best served fresh and warm.
