Step-by-Step Guide to Making S’mores Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:

1 can crescent roll dough
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Butter (for brushing)
Sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
On each triangle, place a few mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
Roll up the dough from the wide end to the point, sealing the edges.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your S’mores Crescent Rolls!

Detailed notes on the technique

Dough handling: Work with slightly chilled crescent dough for easier rolling; if it’s been in the fridge too long, let it sit 5–10 minutes so it’s pliable but not sticky.
Filling balance: Use 2–3 mini marshmallows and a teaspoon or so of chocolate chips per triangle. Too much filling can burst the seams; too little won’t give the gooey s’mores effect.
Sealing tips: Pinch the seams well and tuck the point underneath each roll so they don’t unravel while baking.
Browning and texture: Brushing with melted butter before baking gives a beautiful golden finish and adds flavor; a light sprinkle of granulated sugar contributes an appealing crunch.

Why these steps matter
Each step builds toward a reliable, consistent result: preheating gives a steady oven environment, portioning the filling controls the goo factor, and brushing with butter encourages even browning. Taken together, they turn a handful of simple ingredients into a nostalgic, melty treat that looks and tastes special.

Best Way to Store S’mores Crescent Rolls

Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours (keep at or below 70°F for best texture).
Refrigerator: Place in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days; warm briefly before serving to revive softness.
Freezer: Freeze unbaked, wrapped individually, on a baking sheet until solid then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few minutes to the bake time at 375°F (190°C).

Serving Suggestions for S’mores Crescent Rolls

Classic: Serve warm straight from the oven on a platter for dipping into extra chocolate sauce or marshmallow cream.
With ice cream: Top a warm roll with a scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a decadent dessert.
Breakfast twist: Pair with a mug of hot chocolate or coffee for an indulgent weekend breakfast.
Party display: Arrange on a tiered stand with small bowls of extra graham crumbs, chocolate chips, and marshmallow fluff so guests can customize.

Tips to make S’mores Crescent Rolls
Q: How do I get the marshmallows gooey without leaking everywhere?
A: Use mini marshmallows and limit to 2–3 per triangle; sealing seams tightly and tucking the pointed end underneath helps contain them.

Q: Can I use a different chocolate?
A: Yes — chopped milk, dark, or even white chocolate bars work; thicker chunks give a more molten pool, while chips stay a bit firmer.

Q: What if my rolls brown too quickly?
A: Lower the oven by 10–15°F and extend baking time a couple minutes, or loosely tent with foil halfway through baking.

Variations

Nutella & banana: Substitute the chocolate chips and graham crumbs with a teaspoon of Nutella and a thin banana slice for a gooey Nutella crescent.
Peanut butter s’mores: Add a small dollop of peanut butter beneath the chocolate chips for a salty-sweet twist that pairs wonderfully with marshmallow.

FAQs
Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
A: Use a gluten-free crescent dough (store-bought or homemade) and gluten-free graham crumbs; results will vary slightly in texture but still be delicious.

Q: Are s’mores crescent rolls safe for kids to eat right away?
A: Let them cool for a few minutes after baking — the interior can be very hot and sticky immediately out of the oven.

Q: How do I reheat leftovers?
A: Reheat in a 325°F (163°C) oven for 5–8 minutes or in a toaster oven until warmed through; avoid microwaving if you want to keep the exterior crisp.

How to present for guests
Presentation is part of the fun when serving s’mores crescent rolls. Arrange the warm rolls on a rustic wooden board or white platter, dust lightly with extra graham cracker crumbs, and place a small ramekin of chocolate sauce and one of marshmallow fluff in the center for dipping. For a picnic or outdoor party, wrap a few each in parchment and twine for a charming grab-and-go treat.

Troubleshooting common problems

Soggy bottoms: Make sure your baking sheet isn’t lined with wet parchment; use a clean, dry sheet and ensure the oven is fully preheated.
Seams opened during baking: Don’t overfill and press seams firmly; chilling the filled rolls for 5 minutes before baking can help them hold shape.
Over-browned tops with undercooked centers: Lower the oven temperature slightly and extend the bake time so the center has time to heat through without burning the exterior.

Pairing ideas

Beverages: Hot chocolate, milk, or a campfire-themed cocktail complement the flavors. For adults, a spiced hot toddy or a salted caramel latte pairs nicely.
Other sweets: Serve alongside plain graham crackers and marshmallow skewers to echo the s’mores theme without duplicating textures.

Make-ahead and batch tips

Preassemble and refrigerate: Roll the filled crescents and place them on a parchment-lined sheet, covered, for up to 24 hours before baking. This is great for busy hosts.
Freeze before baking: For longer storage or party planning, freeze the prepared rolls on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to the bake time.

Safety and allergy notes

Nuts: If serving people with nut allergies, avoid recipes that include peanut butter or nut-based chocolates. Label ingredients if you’re making these for a group.
Hot filling: Remind guests that the filling can be very hot out of the oven, particularly for small children.

Extra tips for flair

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the tops after brushing with butter for a sophisticated sweet-salty contrast.
For a toasted-marshmallow flavor without the open flame, broil for 20–30 seconds at the end — watch carefully to prevent burning.

Nutrition note (approximate)
These are indulgent, dessert-style rolls. Expect a moderate-to-high calorie count per roll depending on size and exact ingredients; use mini marshmallows and a modest amount of chocolate for smaller portions.
