Resurrection Rolls, Empty Tomb Rolls, or Easter Resurrection Rolls are symbolic treats enjoyed during Easter. These sweet rolls are typically made with crescent roll dough wrapped around a marshmallow, symbolizing Jesus’ body wrapped in linen cloths for burial. As the rolls bake, the marshmallow melts, leaving a space inside the roll, representing the empty tomb discovered on Easter morning. The rolls are often coated in cinnamon sugar or glazed with icing, adding to their deliciousness. Resurrection Rolls are a tasty treat and a meaningful reminder of the Easter story.

Pro Tips

Achieving the perfect Air Fryer Hocus Pocus Buns can be a magical experience with these pro tips:

• Seal the Edges: Ensure the crescent roll dough is tightly sealed around the marshmallow to prevent the filling from leaking out during air frying.

• Space Them Out: Leave some space between the Hocus Pocus Buns in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.

• Customize Toppings: Get creative with toppings like powdered sugar, icing drizzle, or extra cinnamon sugar for added sweetness and flair.

Faq’s

Can I use homemade dough instead of crescent roll dough? Yes, you can use homemade dough if you prefer. Just ensure it’s rolled out thinly and wrap it tightly around the marshmallow filling.

Can I make these in advance? While they are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the Hocus Pocus Buns to wrap the marshmallows and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before air frying.

Can I freeze them? Yes, you can freeze the unbaked Hocus Pocus Buns. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, allow them to thaw slightly before air frying.
