Ingredients:
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Milk chocolate bars or chocolate chips
- Mini marshmallows
- Unsalted butter, melted
- Granulated sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even baking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and gently press the seams together to form one large rectangle.
- Brush the surface of the dough evenly with melted butter, making sure to reach all edges for maximum flavor.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the buttered dough, followed by a light layer of granulated sugar for extra sweetness.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and scatter them evenly across the dough. Add mini marshmallows on top, spacing them so every roll gets plenty of filling.
- Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, keeping the filling tucked inside as you go.
- Slice the log into equal rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
- Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed, golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar or adding extra marshmallows on top if desired.
