S’mores Crescent Rolls: Easy Oven-Baked Campfire Treat Recipe
Introduction
S’mores Crescent Rolls offer a fun and easy twist on the classic campfire treat. Gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers are all wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough, creating a delicious and portable dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chocolate bar (broken into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 crushed graham crackers)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. For a seamless dough shape, you can cut the triangles into squares or rectangles if desired.
- Step 3: Place a few chocolate chips in the center of each dough triangle, followed by a small handful of mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
- Step 4: Starting from the wider end of the triangle, carefully roll the dough to enclose the filling. Pinch the edges firmly to seal completely.
- Step 5: Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, brush each one with melted butter, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Step 6: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Tips & Variations
- Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent marshmallows and chocolate from leaking during baking.
- Avoid overfilling the rolls to ensure easy sealing and even baking.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and simplifies cleanup.
- Try adding chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel inside for extra flavor.
- Use dark or milk chocolate based on your preference for sweetness.
Storage
Store leftover s’mores crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is gooey again. Avoid microwaving to keep the dough flaky and crisp.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use homemade crescent roll dough for this recipe?
