SO easy to make and everyone loved them.
Teresa Salazar MD
sugar/cinnamon ration was off – too much cinnamon. Other recipes suggest 2 tsp cinnamon to 1/4 cup sugar. This is a better ratio.
Ashley Schmidt
Be careful to seal dough completely!
Robert Dunn
I made these for Easter and followed the recipe exactly. Yes, a little leaks out but neither the taste nor the message was affected. Yummy and meaningful!
William Holmes
These are easy to make and delicious too.
Stephanie Weber
Followed the recipe exactly. They were dry and burned. Like other reviewers I cut the cook time down to 8 minutes not 15. You only really need 1/8 butter. Also they are VERY bready. Try adding some filling like chocolate, strawberry, or Nutella.

We have made Resurrection Rolls an Easter tradition. My kids love it. This year, 2020, I wasn’t able to find crescent rolls at the grocery store because of COVID-19. Instead we used refrigerated cinnamon roll dough! It was awesome!!! We forwent dipping the marshmallows in butter/cinnamon/sugar because the dough already had that element. We just wrapped the marshmallows in the dough then once baked we poured the included frosting drizzle on the rolls! Hooray! Fun, yummy and simple that’s what I call success.

They were ready with thin crescent rolls in 10 min. Good thing I checked. Yum-my.
Philip Porter
A little messy, but so worth it!
Jason Baxter
Put the rolls in well-greased muffin tins, which helped contain the little bits of leaking filling. Delicious!

my family begs for these

This is actually an old Betty Crocker recipe, known as Balloon Buns. In that recipe, you take your marshmallow enclosed roll, dip it into melted butter & then roll it in the brown sugar/cinnamon mix, & then pop ’em into muffin tins & bake. They’re a God awful sticky mess to eat w/ the outer coating, but boy are they YUMMY!! 😀

Okay, so I read lots of reviews. My first attempt at this, yes, the marshmallow oozed out and made a mess and many of the rolls collapsed and terrible to clean up. So I did my best test kitchen experiments. I tried at least 7 different variants: – using two crescent rolls (way too much), – using the large dinner roll size (still too much), – adding flour to the spices (didn’t help…and was weird), – using mini marshmallows or cutting them in half (doesn’t work so well and difficult to fit into the object lesson) – even tried water instead of butter (made little difference, although one of the reasons the crescent rolls split open at the seam and oozes out is too much butter makes it hard to seal it well. The secret to success (others have said this): use a silicone cupcake pan. Very little seepage. 1. Use real butter, not margarine or some other icky product. 2. Use the name brand crescent rolls (the original size). 3. Pinch the seams together well. 4. Brush melted butter on top and sprinkle more spices on top. 5. 350 for 12 minutes was plenty 6. As soon as they are done, barely cool enough to touch, flip them so that the oozy goodness coats the inside of the top too. Worked perfectly. We do this only once per year, and we share the Easter story of Jesus’ resurrection. My preschool-aged grandchildren love doing it. I know, they aren’t going to get the analogy. But they will remember it and eventually it will make sense to them. Until then, it a tasty treat that they g

so next time I would try sticking to 375 degrees and cooking for 10 minutes
Christina Campbell
15 minutes was too long. I would bake then for 10-12 min.
Kristin Hill
Made with grandson. It was fun
Samantha Smith
so much fun..we love these! every year.
Mark Hays
Made these rolls for an adult Easter dinner and they were a hit! They are sweet like a cinnamon roll, and they went well with the ham and potatoes I was serving. Will make this every Easter.
Nancy Garza
These were extraordinaly sweet.

I found this last weekend made on Monday as a test before Easter. I read all of the reviews before I made them, that being said I modified it slightly. First, I did not have big marshmallows I used 2 mini marshmallows. I also didn’t have the regular rolls I had ones that were bigger (package was 12oz, forgot brand). Since marshmallow s are already sweet I used more cinnamon and less sugar, and more melted butter. I let the marshmallows soak in the butter while I unrolled the pastry. I used parchment paper on a baking sheet. brushed butter and sprinkled cinnamon over top. 357 for about 14 minutes. Turned out great only 3 leaked. Will be making again Easter for breakfast.
Bradley Webster
Very great!
