How to Prepare S’mores Crescent Rolls

Making S’mores Crescent Rolls is not only fun but also surprisingly quick and straightforward. With just a few simple steps, you can transform basic ingredients into a gooey, chocolatey dessert that everyone will love. The key is in careful assembly and even baking, ensuring that each crescent roll is perfectly golden and filled with melted chocolate and marshmallows.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the crescent rolls will bake evenly and achieve a golden, flaky texture. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, which prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Prepare the Dough: Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean surface. If the dough comes in triangles, gently separate them along the perforations. Lightly press along the seams to make sure they are sealed, creating a smooth surface ready for filling.
Add the Chocolate: Place a small handful of chocolate chips or chunks near the wide end of each dough triangle. The chocolate should be enough to give a rich, gooey center but not so much that it leaks excessively during baking.
Add the Marshmallows: Next, add 2–3 mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate. These will melt and create the signature gooey texture of S’mores. For a more indulgent treat, you can slightly toast the marshmallows under a kitchen torch before adding them, although this is optional.
Optional Sweet Twist: If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of brown sugar or cinnamon over the marshmallows to add an extra layer of sweetness and flavor. This step is entirely customizable depending on your taste preferences.
Roll the Crescent: Starting from the wide end of the triangle, carefully roll the dough toward the narrow tip, enclosing the chocolate and marshmallows inside. Make sure the tip is tucked underneath to prevent the filling from oozing out during baking.
Brush with Butter: Lightly brush the outside of each crescent with melted butter. This step helps achieve a golden, shiny exterior and adds a subtle richness to the pastry.
Bake: Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each to allow for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown. Transition words like “next” and “afterward” are important here to guide the process smoothly.
Cool Slightly: Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for 3–5 minutes. Cooling slightly prevents the chocolate and marshmallows from burning your mouth while maintaining the soft, gooey center.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, straight from the baking sheet, or transfer to a plate. These crescent rolls pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk, hot chocolate, or coffee.
