I am always looking for hands-on ways to reinfornce whatever it is I might be trying to teach the boys. Biggest Brother and Big Brother both like to help in the kitchen so when they got a recipe from church for Easter Rolls I was happy to try it out with them. There are cookie recipe ides for something similar, but I like bread. Well I like cookies too, but that is another story. Anyway, as you know this week leads up to Easter which is a HUGE celebration in our house. We talk about it all the time and this was a fun activity (and addition to dinner).
I improvised the recipe, but basically all you do is take frozen Rhodes rolls. Let them thaw, but not rise. I let mine thaw in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Once soft, roll them out
Wrap the dough around a large marshmallow
Brush on melted butter or spray with Spray butter
Sprinkle with cinammon & sugar
Let rise 45 minutes
Cook according to the directions on the Rhodes package
They are best right out of the oven all hot and gooey…not so great after they cool off. As we prepared the rolls we talked about what makes Easter so incredible is that when they placed Jesus in the tomb the story didn’t end there. A few days later the tomb was empty and Jesus had defeated death….the rolls are empty once baked.

Going along with the idea of reinforcing things with my kids. The oldest boys love to wear sunglasses right now. They also love dancing. So being the great mom from the 80s I am, I downloaded Corey Hart’s Sunglasses at Night from iTunes. Can you believe Chris had never heard it? Just breaks my 80s heart….
Now there is a post for you…Easter Bread and Corey Hart 🙂
Kari - By reading every post you publish and having had the opportunity to meet you, I’m convinced that YOU ARE the most creative, talented, Christian lady that I’ve ever met in my entire life! This is a great idea that Mekenzie and I can try out. I’ve tried my best to explain to her about Christ, His death on the cross and what it means to be saved. There is nothing like looking out the front door and see a 4 year old have a Border Collie penned up in the corner with her little hands around his face telling him – “if you don’t ask Jesus into your heart, you’re going to hell.” She gets the idea- now we must work on her approach! 🙂 Thanks again for SnapShop’s. I loved it and have already been practicing. p.s.- I don’t know who Corey Hart is either! lol!
Trinity - I love those! We do the same thing with just canned biscuits….that is really good for a Church activity…the kids are always so amazed when the marshmallow is gone. And they are SO yummy!
Lesley - Ashley, you crack me up and now that song will be stuck in my head the rest of the morning. Those rolls look so good, Eric’s grandma does one similar but she uses crescent rolls and dips the marshmallow in butter first. I’m hungry now.
amanda - I love the recipe and will try that out at home! Thanks so much. I will also be singing “I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I caaannnn…”
Emily Beaty - mmmm those sound soooo good! we’re going to try them on Sunday. 🙂
AshleyAnn - Thanks for the sweet comment Kari, but I can guarantee you I am none of those things! You should see me after I have been stuck inside on a winter day with 3 boys! Thanks for the kind words.
Heather Stauffer - We love doing these every year! But to make them yummy all the time, dip the marshmallow in butter and the sugar/cinnamon and THEN wrap with whatever bread you choose 🙂
Charissa - My aunt used to make these and we called them Balloon Buns. Balloon buns is more fun to say, but Easter Bread is definitely more spiritual.
Christina Larsen - I can’t believe that Chris has never heard that song. Being from the 80’s as well, it was a classic. Thanks for sharing a neat recipe.
Angie Brooks - That is one of my very favorite 80’s songs. I love it.
h a p p y e a s t e r | Kelly Stocksen Photography Blog - […] trying to teach the kids a little more about the true meaning of Easter, we made this recipe that Ashley Ann posted on her blog. Well, we cheated and made it with canned crescent rolls, because it was faster […]
