For some folks, Easter is not complete without empty tomb rolls. Also known as resurrection rolls, empty tomb rolls are rolls of dough stuffed with marshmallows rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar. However, we replaced the sugar with sugar-free sweetener to make the Empty Tomb Rolls a little healthier. The empty tomb rolls get rolled in butter and cinnamon mixture before being baked until golden brown. As the empty tomb rolls bake in the oven, the marshmallows melt, leaving a hollow center hence the name empty tomb rolls. All in all, these empty tomb rolls are soft, sweet, buttery, and utterly delicious.
