S'mores Crescent Rolls deliver gooey chocolate and marshmallow in a soft golden blanket ready in just minutes. These rolls capture summer campfire flavor in your cozy kitchen for a fun and easy dessert perfect for sharing or satisfying a late night craving.
After bringing these to a family game night the pan disappeared before the second round ended and now my friends ask for them at every sleepover.
Ingredients
- Refrigerated crescent rolls: Dough forms the perfect flaky base so choose a brand known for buttery layers

My favorite ingredient is the nostalgic milk chocolate because it melts into a creamy pool that reminds me of childhood campfires and sticky fingers. The first time we made these my daughter declared them better than real s'mores and I had to agree after tasting that perfect marshmallow pull.
Storage tips
Pack cooled crescent rolls into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two days. Warm leftovers for ten seconds in the microwave to revive the melty texture. Avoid refrigerating or the rolls may become dense.
Ingredient substitutions
You can swap milk chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer treat or add a dollop of peanut butter for a sweet salty twist. If you have only large marshmallows cut them into small pieces to fit evenly in the dough.
Serving suggestions
Serve these s'mores rolls as an after-dinner treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or pile them up family-style for movie night. They also make an easy sweet brunch addition alongside fresh strawberries.
