Crescent rolls, marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. That’s it. A fast, fire-free way to crush your campfire cravings.
So, let me paint you a picture: It’s 10 PM. I’m in my pajamas, scrolling through my phone, and I get hit—wham—with a craving for s’mores. You know the kind. Suddenly, nothing else will do. But let’s be honest… I don’t camp. I don’t even like camping. I like the idea of camping, but the moment I’m actually outside swatting bugs and burning marshmallows into oblivion, I remember who I am—a creature of comfort.
That night, out of desperation (and zero desire to go outdoors), I pulled crescent rolls out of the fridge, tossed in some marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate, and hoped for the best. What came out of the oven? Magic. Gooey, buttery, golden magic. Now, these S’mores Crescent Rolls are my go-to when I need a little campfire happiness without the dirt, smoke, and regret.
Why You’ll Love This S’mores Crescent Rolls Recipe?
Honestly? They’re just fun. Fun to make. Fun to eat. Fun to watch as the marshmallows puff up and the chocolate melts and things start bubbling like some delicious science experiment.
Here’s why I think you’ll love them too:
-
Zero bonfire required. No lighters, no sticks, no charcoal-stained fingers.
-
Faster than delivery. You’ll be biting into one in under 20 minutes.
-
Kid-friendly chaos. It’s messy in the best way.
-
Crescent dough = flaky perfection. I don’t make the rules.
-
You can eat three and not hate yourself. (Well, maybe just a little. But they’re worth it.)
Ingredient Notes:
You probably have most of this stuff on hand. But even if you don’t, every ingredient is easy to grab from a quick grocery run. Here’s the cast:
-
Crescent Roll Dough: The refrigerated kind. Honestly, it does all the heavy lifting.
-
Mini Marshmallows: They melt faster and make a better gooey layer.
-
Milk Chocolate Chips or Bars: I’ve used both. Use what you’ve got.
-
Graham Crackers: Crushed up for that classic crunch and honey flavor.
-
Butter: Because life without butter is sad.
-
Powdered Sugar (Optional): For that snow-dusted look that says, “Yes, I am fancy.”
How To Make S’mores Crescent Rolls?
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—unless you enjoy scrubbing melted marshmallow off metal, in which case, live your truth.
Step 2: Lay It All Out
Pop open that crescent roll tube (brace yourself for the pop) and unroll the dough. Separate it into triangles and lay them out on the sheet like little doughy pizza slices.
Step 3: Layer the Love
Sprinkle each triangle with crushed graham crackers. Then add a few mini marshmallows and some chocolate. Don’t overstuff—trust me, the goo will find a way out.
Step 4: Roll and Tuck
Start at the wide end of each triangle and gently roll them toward the point. You want a snug little pocket. Tuck the sides slightly so your filling doesn’t bail mid-bake.
Step 5: Butter Them Up
Brush the tops with melted butter. Not only does it help them get that golden finish, but butter also whispers, “I love you,” in food language.

Step 6: Bake to Bliss
Pop ‘em in the oven for 10–12 minutes. You’re looking for golden brown tops and maybe a bit of marshmallow lava oozing out. That’s when you know they’re done.
Step 7: Fancy Finish (Optional But Recommended)
Dust with powdered sugar. Toss on a few more graham crumbs if you’re feeling extra. Serve warm. Warm is where the magic happens.
Storage Options:
If you manage to have any left the next day—which would be impressive—they’ll keep in an airtight container for 2–3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds to get the goo back. Trust me, cold s’mores are a bit of a bummer.
Variations and Substitutions:
This recipe plays nice with others. Don’t be afraid to riff on it:
-
Use peanut butter cups instead of plain chocolate? YES.
-
Sub dark chocolate for a grown-up version with a hint of bitterness.
-
Drizzle with caramel. I don’t even have to explain this one.
-
Make it gluten-free: Grab gluten-free crescent dough and graham-style cookies. Boom.
-
Try marshmallow fluff: Just know it’ll get wild and messy and awesome.
What to Serve with S’mores Crescent Rolls?
These are dessert gold, but they also vibe with:
-
A big glass of cold milk. (Classic.)
-
Hot cocoa. For peak winter vibes.
-
Vanilla ice cream. Because why not?
-
Coffee. I mean… breakfast s’mores are a thing, right?
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I prep these ahead of time?
Yep! You can roll them and refrigerate them for a few hours. Just bake right before serving for the best texture.
What if I don’t have mini marshmallows?
Cut regular ones into quarters or go wild with fluff. It’ll still work—just messier (in a good way).
Can I freeze them?
Technically, yes. But they’re way better fresh. You lose that gooey factor once they’ve been frozen and reheated.
S’mores Crescent Rolls are one of those low-effort, high-reward recipes that feel like a little culinary cheat code. No firepit. No camping. No crying over burnt marshmallows. Just buttery, flaky, melty, gooey deliciousness in under 20 minutes.
You’ll make them once and then wonder where they’ve been all your life. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Now, go on—make a batch. Eat one warm out of the oven. Then come back and tell me how many you actually shared.
Can’t wait to hear what you think.

Keep the Flavor Coming – Try These:
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8-count
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips or 2 standard milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces
- 4 graham crackers crushed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup additional crushed graham crackers for garnish
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar optional, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
Prepare Crescent Dough
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Fill Each Crescent Roll
- Sprinkle each dough triangle with a light layer of crushed graham crackers. Then, place approximately 1 tablespoon of mini marshmallows and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips (or a chocolate square) near the widest end of each triangle.
Roll and Shape
- Beginning at the wide end, gently roll the dough toward the narrow tip, forming a crescent shape. Slightly tuck in the sides to help contain the filling during baking.
Brush with Butter
- Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter. This step enhances browning and adds a rich finish.
Bake
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling has melted.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with additional crushed graham crackers. If desired, dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
