Name: Delish Gooey S'mores Rolls
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 45 min
Ingredients: 1.5 cups mini marshmallows (Use fresh for best texture); 0.5 cups chocolate chips (Semi-sweet or milk chocolate); 1 lb crescent roll dough; 0.25 cups graham cracker crumbs (For coating); 0.5 cups butter (Melted, for brushing)

Okay, you guys. Stop whatever you’re doing, because we need to talk about these Delish Gooey S’mores Rolls. Seriously, if you’re looking for a dessert that screams “I tried… but also, I just wanted an excuse to eat chocolate and marshmallows for breakfast,” then you’ve found your soulmate. Imagine all the campfire vibes, but without the smoke, the mosquitoes, or the awkward singalongs. We’re talking fluffy, sweet rolls stuffed with melted chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and a drizzle of something magical that makes you want to lick the plate. It’s special because it takes that nostalgic s’mores feeling and elevates it to “I might actually cry happy tears” status. And honestly, who doesn’t need more happy tears and sticky fingers in their life?

The first time I made these, my husband, bless his heart, decided to “help.” Which, in his world, means hovering and occasionally snagging a stray marshmallow before it even made it into the roll. The kids, meanwhile, acted like I’d just announced Christmas was every day. My youngest, bless her sticky little heart, managed to get chocolate on the dog, the ceiling, and somehow, her eyebrow. My husband, who typically reserves his enthusiasm for sports and complaining about my cooking (kidding! Mostly.), declared these “the best thing you’ve ever baked.” That’s high praise, folks, especially since I once won a blue ribbon for my banana bread at the local bake sale. His official critique involved a lot of mmm-ing and a chocolate smudge on his cheek. It was pure, unadulterated, messy chaos, and wouldn’t trade it for anything. (Except maybe a clean kitchen counter, but let’s not get greedy.)

Why You’ll Love This Delish Gooey S’mores Rolls

It’s basically a hug in food form. Who couldn’t use a delicious, warm, chocolate-marshmallow hug right now?
Makes you look like a culinary genius, even if your secret weapon is store-bought dough and a microwave. (Shhh, I won’t tell if you don’t.)
Perfect for when you’re craving a campfire but can’t be bothered to, you know, build a fire. Or leave your couch.
The gooey factor is off the charts. Like, “might need a wet wipe for your face, but it’s totally worth it” level gooey.
It disappears faster than your motivation to do laundry on a Saturday. Instant gratification, folks!

Time-Saving Hacks

Shortcut that keeps you sane: Grab a tube of pre-made crescent roll dough or canned biscuit dough. Seriously, no judgment here. We’re all busy, and frankly, life’s too short to knead dough when there’s chocolate to be melted.
Hack that saves dishes but still looks like effort: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Not only does it make cleanup a breeze (just toss the paper!), but it also prevents any rogue marshmallow goo from permanently fusing with your pan.
The sneaky “cheat” you always pull when you’re in a rush: Microwave your chocolate chips with a tiny bit of butter or coconut oil instead of a double boiler. Just a few seconds at a time, stir, repeat. Instant, glossy chocolate drizzle!

Kitchen Confessions

The disaster story: My first attempt at the drizzle resulted in a chocolate river flowing *under* the parchment paper, all over the bottom of my oven, and setting off the smoke detector. My kitchen smelled like burnt sugar and regret for two days.
A silly mistake you or your family made with this recipe: My youngest once tried to make a “super s’mores roll” by stuffing *an entire bag* of mini marshmallows into one roll. It exploded in the oven like a sugary, sticky volcano.
Honest admission: the messy part you secretly skip: I usually just wipe down the counter with a damp cloth instead of doing a full scrub-down after all the marshmallow and chocolate stickiness. A little “rustic charm” never hurt anyone, right?

What to Serve It With

A giant glass of cold milk, a hot cup of coffee, or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to cut through all that glorious sweetness. Or, if you’re like me, just serve it straight from the pan to your face. No plates, no fuss.

✔Tips & Mistakes

Don’t overcrowd your pan, or the rolls won’t bake evenly and you’ll get one giant s’mores monster (which, admittedly, isn’t the worst thing). Also, keep an eye on those marshmallows – they can go from perfectly golden to charred bits faster than you can say “Oh, fudge!” If your chocolate isn’t melting properly, a quick pop back in the oven for a minute can help, but watch it like a hawk. And always let them cool for a *few* minutes before diving in, or you’ll burn your tongue and cry real tears.

Storage Tips

Keep it in the fridge… assuming there’s anything left. Midnight cold bites? Honestly better than fresh.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap whatever—honey ↔ sugar, tamari ↔ soy sauce—or skip a step and call it rustic. Still edible. For these rolls, you could totally use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate chips, or add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top for a gourmet twist. Not a fan of graham cracker crumbs? Leave ’em out! Want to be extra? Drizzle with some caramel sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the marshmallows from totally melting away or burning?

The key is to add the marshmallows in the last few minutes of baking, or right after the rolls come out of the oven if you’re using mini marshmallows. If you put them in too early, they’ll just disappear into the dough or get crispy. Keep a close eye on them to get that perfect gooey, slightly toasted top without charring.

Can I prepare the Delish Gooey S’mores Rolls ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the rolls (without the marshmallows) and place them in the baking dish, then cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking, then add your marshmallows as directed. This makes for a super easy breakfast or brunch treat!

What kind of chocolate works best for the filling and drizzle?

For the filling, milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate bars work wonderfully for that classic s’mores flavor and melt beautifully. For the drizzle, you can use the same or opt for a semi-sweet chocolate for a slightly richer contrast. A good quality chocolate will give you the best gooey texture and flavor.

My rolls are sticky! How do I reheat them without making a mess?

To reheat, cover them loosely with foil and warm them in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, a quick 15-30 seconds in the microwave can do the trick, but be warned, the stickiness will increase! Using parchment paper on your baking sheet can help prevent sticking.

Can I make these Delish Gooey S’mores Rolls gluten-free?

Yes, you totally can! Simply swap out the regular crescent roll or biscuit dough for a certified gluten-free puff pastry or crescent roll dough. Many brands offer delicious gluten-free versions that will work perfectly. Just make sure your graham crackers (if using) are also gluten-free, and you’re good to go!
