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.

Equipment

  • 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

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
  1. 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
  1. Open the can of crescent rolls and gently unroll the dough. Separate into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
  2. Place each triangle flat on your baking sheet.
Step 3: Fill with S’mores Magic
  1. In the center of the wide end of each triangle, add:
  2. 1 tbsp mini marshmallows
  3. 1 tbsp chocolate chips
  4. ½ tbsp graham cracker crumbs
  5. Avoid overfilling — it can cause leakage while baking.
Step 4: Roll 'Em Up
  1. 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
  1. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra golden, buttery flavor.
  2. Sprinkle lightly with additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.
Step 6: Bake
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  2. Keep an eye on them — marshmallows can caramelize quickly!
Step 7: Cool Slightly & Serve
  1. Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving. Chocolate and marshmallow inside will be hot!
  2. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey texture.

Notes

❓ 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.
