S’mores Crescent Rolls Recipe

I made these S’mores Crescent Rolls over the weekend, and they vanished off the baking sheet in a matter of minutes. The combination of flaky, golden crescent pastry stuffed with warm, melted chocolate, crushed graham crackers, and gooey toasted marshmallows is absolute perfection. I love how effortlessly this treat comes together using just four simple pantry ingredients in under fifteen minutes.

It delivers all the comforting, nostalgic flavor of a campfire s’more with zero fuss or outdoor mess. Trust me, once you taste how irresistibly that warm chocolate and marshmallow oozes out of the golden pastry, you will be making these for quick movie night snacks just like I do.

Ingredients

Using store-bought crescent dough and miniature marshmallows makes assembling these warm campfire pockets completely effortless.

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (bakes into a buttery, flaky, golden pastry shell)
  • 4 Hershey’s milk chocolate bars or 1 cup milk chocolate chips (melts into a smooth, rich chocolate center)
  • 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows (puffs up and melts into a sweet, gooey interior)
  • 4 whole graham crackers, crushed into coarse crumbs (adds an authentic, crunchy s’mores texture)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for brushing over the crescent dough before baking)
  • Powdered sugar or extra graham cracker crumbs (for a light, decorative garnish)

Note: This recipe yields 8 crescent rolls.

Variations

Easily tweak this quick dessert to suit different sweet cravings or add fun flavor twists.

  • Peanut Butter S’mores: Spread a thin layer of creamy peanut butter onto each dough triangle before adding the chocolate and marshmallows.
  • Dark Chocolate Sea Salt: Swap milk chocolate bars for dark chocolate chunks and finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt right after baking.
  • Fruit Crunch Twist: Tuck sliced fresh strawberries or banana rounds inside alongside the chocolate and marshmallows for a fruity flavor contrast.

Equipment You Need

Having these basic kitchen tools ready makes preparing these quick crescent rolls completely seamless.

  • Baking Sheet & Parchment Paper: Prevents sticky, melted marshmallows and chocolate from adhering to the pan.
  • Rolling Surface or Cutting Board: Gives you a clean workspace to unroll and separate the dough triangles.
  • Pastry Brush: Used to lightly brush melted butter over the tops before baking for maximum browning.
  • Ziploc Bag or Rolling Pin: Perfect for quickly crushing the graham crackers into coarse crumbs.

How to Make S’mores Crescent Rolls?

Follow these simple, step-by-step instructions to turn crescent dough into gooey, chocolate-filled s’mores pockets.

Prep and Unroll Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough sheet and separate it into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines, laying them out on your prepared baking surface.

Fill the Crescents

Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of crushed graham crackers over the wide end of each dough triangle. Place half a Hershey’s chocolate bar (or a small handful of chocolate chips) on top of the crumbs, followed by 5 to 6 mini marshmallows.

Roll and Bake

Carefully roll up each crescent starting from the wide end and moving toward the pointed tip, tucking the edges in slightly to trap the filling. Arrange them on the baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and sprinkle with remaining graham cracker crumbs. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the pastry is deep golden brown and the marshmallows are melted. Cool for 3 minutes before serving warm.

Additional Tips for Making this Recipe Better

Here are a few personal tricks I rely on to keep the filling tucked inside and get perfectly golden crescent rolls every time.

  • I always pinch the side seams of the dough slightly after rolling to create a seal so the melted marshmallows do not leak out onto the pan.
  • I highly recommend using mini marshmallows rather than large ones because they melt evenly during the short baking time without tearing the thin pastry.
  • I like to serve these within 5 minutes of pulling them out of the oven so the chocolate stays warm and liquid and the marshmallows remain stretchy.

How to Serve S’mores Crescent Rolls?

Arrange the warm crescent rolls on a platter while the pastry is hot and flaky. Dust lightly with powdered sugar or drizzle warm melted chocolate over the top for a gorgeous bakery finish. These nostalgic pockets serve as an incredible quick dessert for kids’ sleepovers, game night snacks, weekend brunches, or outdoor summer barbecues paired with hot cocoa or cold milk.

Make Ahead and Storage

Proper storage and quick reheating keep the pastry crisp and the chocolate filling warm and gooey.

Storage

Store leftover crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Keep them in a cool area so the chocolate exterior does not melt.

Freezing

Freezing is not recommended for assembled or baked crescent rolls because the marshmallows become soggy and lose their gooey stretch upon thawing. Bake fresh for the best experience.

Reheating

Reheat individual crescent rolls in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 5 minutes to crisp up the pastry and remelt the chocolate core. A quick 10-second microwave warm-up works as well.
