Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to preheat at 180°C (350°F) to create an inviting warm atmosphere for baking.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully. Separate it into the pre-cut triangles, taking care not to tear them as these will serve as the cozy wrappers for your delightful filling.
Step 3: Add the Filling
At the wide end of each triangle, place a few small pieces of rich milk chocolate along with a small handful of soft mini marshmallows. Allow your imagination to run wild, ensuring there’s enough chocolate and marshmallow to create that signature gooeyness!
Step 4: Roll the Dough
Starting from the wide end, gently roll up the dough to enclose the delicious filling completely. Make sure the ends are tucked in to prevent any oozy mishaps during baking.
Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheet
Carefully place your rolled-up treats onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. This will help to keep them from sticking and make for an easier cleanup.
Step 6: Add Finishing Touches
Brush the tops of each crescent roll with the melted butter, allowing it to soak in and promise a buttery flavor. Then, sprinkle a light layer of graham cracker crumbs over the top for that extra crunch and a nostalgic taste of classic s’mores.
Step 7: Bake
Slide the baking sheet into the oven, allowing the rolls to bake for about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye out for a beautiful golden-brown color, which indicates they are ready to come out.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. As they cool, their internal gooeyness will set just a bit, making it easier to handle. Serve them warm for an indulgent treat that promises to bring joy with each bite!
