Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough: Convenient and ready-to-use; choose flaky dough for best results.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your rolls bake perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining gooey inside.
Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Roll Out the Crescents: Open your tube of crescent roll dough and separate each triangle carefully. Lay them flat on your prepared baking sheet; they should resemble little sails waiting for their cargo.
Add Marshmallows: Take one marshmallow and dip it in melted butter before rolling it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place this sugary delight at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Roll Them Up: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the marshmallow until it’s completely enclosed like an edible treasure chest. Pinch seams tightly to ensure no sugary goodness escapes during baking.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your prepared rolls in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed up beautifully. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
As you can see, making Resurrection Rolls is more straightforward than piecing together a puzzle—well, unless you count those pesky corners of the crescent dough!
Enjoy these treats fresh out of the oven or let them cool down slightly before devouring them with family and friends. They’re perfect for celebrating Easter or just indulging on any day ending in “y.”
These delightful Resurrection Rolls embody sweetness both literally and figuratively—a little reminder that there’s joy tucked away within life’s simplest moments! Happy baking!
