What is s’mores Crescent Rolls?
So, what are S’mores Crescent Rolls exactly? Well, it’s essentially a delicious twist on the classic s’more, but instead of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows sandwiched together, we’re using flaky, buttery crescent roll dough to wrap everything up. Think of it as a s’more burrito, but way more elegant (and definitely more delicious, in my humble opinion). It’s essentially taking all the flavors you love from a campfire s’more and baking them into a warm, gooey, handheld treat. The crescent roll dough gets all golden and crispy, while the chocolate melts into a decadent sauce and the marshmallows turn into a pillowy cloud of sweetness. It’s really something special, and so simple anyone can make it!
Why you’ll love this recipe?
Okay, let’s get down to why you’re absolutely going to fall head-over-heels for these S’mores Crescent Rolls. First off, the flavor is insane. You’ve got that buttery, flaky pastry, the rich, melty chocolate, and the sweet, toasted marshmallow – it’s a symphony of flavors and textures that’ll have you hooked from the first bite. But the real kicker? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Seriously, if you can open a can of crescent rolls, you can make this recipe. I’m talking minimal prep time, minimal ingredients, and minimal cleanup. What I love most about this is how family-friendly it is. My kids absolutely adore helping me make these (especially the part where they get to stuff the marshmallows!), and it’s always a huge hit at parties and get-togethers. Plus, let’s be real, who doesn’t love s’mores? It’s childhood nostalgia in every bite! These are way easier than making individual s’mores over a campfire too. The best part? The cost is minimal, you likely have most of the ingredients on hand already! So delicious, cheap, and simple! It’s a trifecta!
How do you make s’mores rolls?
Quick Overview
Making these S’mores Crescent Rolls is honestly a breeze. You’ll start by unrolling your crescent roll dough, then layering on chocolate and marshmallows. Roll them up, bake them until golden, and then drizzle with a simple glaze. The whole process takes less than 30 minutes, making it the perfect treat for busy weeknights or impromptu gatherings. Seriously, it’s so easy, it’s almost embarrassing. The best part? No campfire needed!
Ingredients
For the Main Event:
• 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough – trust me, name brand really does make a difference here. The texture is just better!
• 6 milk chocolate bars (like Hershey’s), broken into rectangles – I like milk chocolate, but dark or semi-sweet works too!
• 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows – I always buy extra because they disappear quickly in the microwave.
For the Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar – Sift it if you want an extra smooth glaze, but I usually skip this step. I’m all about efficiency!
• 2-3 tablespoons milk – Whole milk makes for a richer glaze, but 2% or even almond milk works in this recipe. I’ve used coffee creamer twice, and it was amazing!
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – Don’t skimp on the vanilla! What is the flavor of the glaze?
How do I follow step
Step 1: Preheat & Prep Pan
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. How do I remove a crescent roll from the pan? What is the best way to skip this step?
Step 2: Unroll the Dough
Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. If the dough is sticky, you can dust it with flour. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
Step 3: Layer in Goodies
Place a rectangle of chocolate on the wide end of each triangle, then top with a generous sprinkle of mini marshmallows. Don’t be shy with the marshmallows! The more, the merrier, in my opinion. I usually put three chocolate bar squares in each roll.
Step 4: Roll ‘Em Up
Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle towards the point. Make sure to tuck in the ends to keep the chocolate and marshmallows from spilling out during baking. I always do this when the kids help me to prevent a mess in the oven!
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the marshmallows are puffy and slightly toasted. Keep a close eye on them, as ovens can vary!
Step 6: Make the Glaze
While the crescent rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency. I prefer a slightly thicker glaze, but you can make it as thin or thick as you like.
Step 7: Drizzle & Devour
Once the crescent rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with water. I like to use a spoon or fork to drizzle the glaze evenly over the rolls. If you serve immediately and watch them disappear!
Step 8: (Optional) Add Sprinkles!
If you’re feeling fancy, you can sprinkle the glazed crescent rolls with some sprinkles before serving. This is totally optional, but it adds a fun pop of color and makes them extra festive.
What should I serve it with?
These S’mores Crescent Rolls are amazing on their own, but they’re also fantastic served with a few different things. I love serving them for breakfast with a hot cup of coffee. The sweetness of the rolls pairs perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee, creating a delightful morning treat. For brunch, I like to arrange them on a platter with some fresh fruit and yogurt. It makes for a beautiful and delicious spread. As a dessert, these crescent rolls are amazing served warm with a scoop of vanilla Ice Cream. The warm rolls and cold ice cream create a heavenly combination. My personal favorite is to curl up on the couch with a warm S’mores Crescent Roll and a glass of milk on a chilly evening. They’re the perfect comfort food for any occasion, honestly!
What are some tips for making S’mores Crescent Rolls?
Okay, so you’ve got the basics down, but here are a few extra tips to help you take your S’mores Crescent Rolls to the next level. First, make sure your crescent roll dough is cold before you start working with it. This will make it easier to unroll and prevent it from becoming too sticky. If you’re using large marshmallows, you can cut them in half before adding them to the crescent rolls. This will help them melt more evenly. Don’t overbake the crescent rolls! They should be golden brown, but still soft and gooey on the inside. If you overbake them, they’ll become dry and hard. For a fun twist, try using different types of chocolate, like dark chocolate or White Chocolate. You can also add other toppings, like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips. Trust me, the possibilities are endless! I did once try adding some graham cracker crumbs, but they burnt a little so if you do try it make sure to only add a little. The crescent dough has a great flavor all on its own!
What are the Storing and Reheating Tips?
If you happen to have any leftover S’mores Crescent Rolls (which is a big “if” in my house!), you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. However, they’re best eaten fresh, as the crescent roll dough tends to get a little soggy over time. If you want to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before freezing. To reheat, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a few seconds, but be careful not to overheat them, as this can make the dough tough. I have never stored them and not eaten them within the day. They are just so delicious it’s not a problem!
