Family Favorite Resurrection Rolls are a meaningful Easter tradition that beautifully illustrates the story of Jesus’ resurrection through delicious pastry. These sweet, fluffy rolls hide a marshmallow inside that disappears during baking, leaving behind a hollow center—a perfect edible metaphor for the empty tomb. Perfect for Easter breakfast or as part of your holiday celebrations.
