Description

Empty Tomb Rolls are a delightful and symbolic treat featuring soft Rhodes rolls filled with melted marshmallows, coated in cinnamon sugar and baked to golden perfection. This easy recipe makes for a fun and meaningful dessert, perfect for family gatherings and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough and Filling

  • 12 thawed Rhodes rolls
  • 12 jumbo marshmallows

For the Coating

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside to use later.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Flatten the Dough: Take each of the 12 thawed Rhodes rolls and flatten them into small circles, making sure they are large enough to wrap around the marshmallows.
  4. Coat Marshmallows: Dip each jumbo marshmallow first into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  5. Assemble the Rolls: Place one coated marshmallow in the center of each flattened roll. Fold the dough over the marshmallow and pinch the edges tightly to seal the roll completely.
  6. Final Coating: After sealing, roll each assembled roll in the melted butter followed by the cinnamon sugar mixture once again to ensure a flavorful crust.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Place the prepared rolls into the greased muffin tin and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to ensure the marshmallow filling is not too hot.

Notes

  • Make sure rolls are fully sealed to prevent marshmallow leakage during baking.
  • Use jumbo marshmallows for the best melt and gooey center.
  • Serve warm for maximum enjoyment, as the marshmallow filling is soft and melty.
  • You can substitute Rhodes rolls with any soft dinner rolls if preferred.
  • For a variation, try adding a little vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
