It was one of those evenings where I just wanted something sweet, fast, and nostalgic. The craving hit suddenly—something chocolatey, gooey, and a little toasty. I thought of campfire s’mores but had no firepit or time to roast marshmallows. Then I spotted a can of crescent rolls in the fridge, and inspiration struck: S’mores Crescent Rolls.
In under 20 minutes, I had a tray of golden, flaky rolls bursting with melted chocolate, toasty marshmallow, and a buttery graham crunch. The house smelled like a campfire dream, and the first bite instantly took me back to summers under the stars. No sticks or smoke required.
Short Description
S’mores Crescent Rolls are a quick and irresistible dessert made with crescent roll dough, melty chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers—just like classic campfire s’mores, but made in the oven!
Key Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
- Extra graham cracker crumbs or chocolate drizzle for garnish
Tools Needed
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small bowl
- Pastry brush (optional)
- Spoon
Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines. Lay them flat on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Add the Filling
Sprinkle each triangle with a few chocolate chips, a small handful of mini marshmallows, and a pinch of crushed graham crackers. Don’t overfill—they’ll melt and spread!
Step 4: Roll Them Up
Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle like you would a regular crescent roll. Tuck in any escaping chocolate or marshmallow bits.
Step 5: Optional Butter Brushing
Brush the tops with melted butter if you’d like a golden finish and extra richness.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and the marshmallows are just peeking out.
Step 7: Cool Slightly & Serve
Let them cool for just a minute or two. The centers will be gooey and molten—pure perfection. Garnish with more crushed graham crackers or a drizzle of melted chocolate if you want to get fancy.

FAQs
Can I use full-size marshmallows?
Yes, but cut them into smaller pieces so they melt evenly.
Can I make these ahead of time?
They’re best fresh, but you can prep and refrigerate unbaked rolls for up to 4 hours in advance.

Try digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or skip it for a simple chocolate-marshmallow combo.
