🧰 Equipment Needed
This is a no-fuss, no-special-equipment-needed recipe. Just grab:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Small bowls for filling
- Spoon or small scoop
- Pastry brush (optional)
- Oven mitts
🛒 Ingredients
🧁 Aides culinaires et épices:
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
- ½ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
🍪 Biscuits apéritifs:
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
🍬 Desserts:
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
🧈 Autre:
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional) – for brushing tops before baking
Optional: extra chocolate or marshmallows for drizzling or topping after baking.
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Step 2: Separate Crescent Dough
Open the can of crescent rolls and gently unroll the dough. Separate into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
Place each triangle flat on your baking sheet.
Step 3: Fill with S’mores Magic
In the center of the wide end of each triangle, add:
- 1 tbsp mini marshmallows
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- ½ tbsp graham cracker crumbs
Avoid overfilling — it can cause leakage while baking.
Step 4: Roll ‘Em Up
Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle into a crescent shape. Tuck in the sides gently to keep the filling inside.
Step 5: Optional Butter Brush
Brush the tops with melted butter for extra golden, buttery flavor.
Sprinkle lightly with additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Keep an eye on them — marshmallows can caramelize quickly!
Step 7: Cool Slightly & Serve
Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving. Chocolate and marshmallow inside will be hot!
Serve warm for the ultimate gooey texture.

❓ 10 FAQs
1. Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls?
Yes — just cut into triangles and bake at 400°F. They’ll be flakier and crispier.
2. Do the marshmallows melt too much?
They get gooey and a little caramelized — that’s part of the magic! Just don’t overstuff.
3. How do I keep the filling from leaking?
Tuck the ends of the dough snugly around the filling. Pinch the seams if needed.
4. Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Assemble and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. Bake just before serving.
5. Can kids help with this recipe?
Absolutely! It’s a great beginner baking activity — no sharp tools or stovetop.
6. What chocolate is best?
Both milk and semi-sweet chips work. Chopped chocolate bars melt beautifully too.
7. Can I make them gluten-free?
Use gluten-free crescent dough and check your graham crackers.
8. What if I don’t have graham crumbs?
Crush digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or leave them out for a more classic crescent.
9. Can I add fruit?
Sure! Thin slices of banana or strawberries add a fresh twist.
10. Can I freeze them?
Freeze unbaked rolls, then bake straight from frozen for 14–15 minutes at 375°F.
