How to Make S’mores Crescent Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the pre-scored lines.
3. Place a half marshmallow and a square of chocolate near the wide base of each triangle.
4. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up towards the pointed end, enclosing the marshmallow and chocolate inside. Make sure they’re sealed well to avoid leaks.
5. Place the rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll with melted butter for a golden crust.
6. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls for extra flavor and sparkle.
7. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown, and you can see marshmallow slightly oozing out.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the s’mores crescent rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth on hot marshmallow.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows for better gooey texture inside each roll.
• Make sure to seal the dough edges well to keep chocolate and marshmallow from leaking during baking.
• If you want extra gooey rolls, add a small piece of chocolate in the middle along with the marshmallow.
• For a twist, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers on top before baking for classic s’mores flavor.
• Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added decadence.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover s’mores crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them longer, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month.

To reheat, warm the rolls in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or until heated through and melty again. Avoid microwaving, which can make the dough soggy.
