Due to Social Distancing, we won’t be gathering the children of our church congregation to make these rolls while teaching the miracle of Easter this year. But several parents had asked today if I had the recipe and I figured as long as I had it out…I’d share it here.

    Assemble ingredients. Line a cookie sheet with non-stick foil (dull side up) then place the muffin tin on top. This will catch any accidental overflows of marshmallows should there be any. Preheat oven to 375º F. Spray a regular size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Be sure to spray the top too. In a small bowl, melt butter. In another small bowl mix sugar and cinnamon.

    Lightly dust work surface with flour. Separate crescent rolls into 8 individual triangles. Dip marshmallow(s) in butter, then in sugar mixture, coating all surfaces. Place marshmallow(s) on crescent roll and roll up, completely covering the marshmallow.

    Firmly pinch to seal all edges. Next, dip roll in butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar and place in muffin tin. Repeat with remaining rolls.

    Place on middle rack of oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven. Allow to cool for a minute or two. Using a butter knife, remove rolls and place on cooling rack covered with wax paper. CAREFUL – Marshmallows are made of sugar and sugar gets VERY HOT!

    Optional Glaze Directions In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Add a little milk, a scant teaspoon at a time until you get the texture you like. Drizzle over warm rolls and top with chopped pecans.

    NOTE: Over the years, we have found that little hands have difficulty pulling the dough taut enough to seal around a large marshmallow. Three miniatures seem to work just as well with less chance of oozing out during the baking process.
