Anything with cinnamon on it is a win for me. The sliced almonds were a nice touch, too.

These were absolutely delicious! And I love the idea of the marshmallow melting in the middle to signify that Jesus has risen. What a perfect Easter treat!

What a clever idea! While I'd heard of Resurrection rolls before, I never really knew what they were; now that I do, I love the concept. I wondered if they might end up being too sweet from the marshmallow, but not at all. Just the right bite of sweet, and easy to make, to boot!

These were sweet and soft and had a perfect gooey center. The marshmallow really did disappear completely in the oven!
