Why I Love This Recipe
I’ve made a lot of s’mores-inspired treats, but these crescent rolls are by far the easiest—and most addictive. The buttery crescent dough wraps up all that sweet, sticky goodness into a neat little pocket that bakes in under 15 minutes.
Here’s what makes them an instant classic:
- No campfire required
- Minimal prep and cleanup
- Kid-friendly and fun to make
- Just as good reheated (yes, really)
Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chips or small chocolate bar pieces
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
- Extra graham cracker crumbs or chocolate drizzle for topping (optional)
Optional Swaps & Tips
- Chocolate Chips: Use milk, semi-sweet, or dark depending on your mood.
- Marshmallows: Mini size melts best, but you can tear up large ones.
- Add Peanut Butter: A little spread on the dough before rolling = next-level treat.
- Nut-Free?: Stick with basic ingredients—these are already a hit without add-ons!
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
- Unroll Crescent Dough: Separate into 8 triangles.
- Add the Good Stuff: Sprinkle each triangle with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers—leave a little space near the edges.
- Roll ‘Em Up: Starting at the wide end, gently roll each crescent toward the point.
- Optional Butter Brush: For a golden finish, brush tops with melted butter and a pinch of graham crumbs.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Let sit for 2–3 minutes (they’ll be hot and gooey inside!).
- Top & Serve: Drizzle with melted chocolate or a dusting of graham crumbs if desired. Enjoy warm.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill! A little goes a long way—too much and the goo will escape.
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet to help them hold shape.
- For even more s’mores vibes, serve with a glass of cold milk or a mug of cocoa.
- Want that signature toast? Pop under the broiler for 30 seconds for marshmallow browning.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
These rolls are perfect straight from the oven, but here’s how to elevate the experience:
- Pair with a refreshing glass of Blueberry Lemonade to balance out all that gooey sweetness.
