These gooey s’mores rolls are the perfect cozy treat for a weekend brunch or an after-dinner indulgence. They bring all the nostalgic campfire flavors into a soft, warm roll that anyone can make quickly at home.
I whipped these up on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up serving them with coffee to friends who loved how the cinnamon sugar added a nice layer of warmth.
Ingredients
- Ready-to-use pizza dough: provides a soft and chewy base without extra effort look for one that feels fresh and pliable
- Milk chocolate bar chopped: to ensure melty pockets of rich chocolate inside opt for a good quality chocolate not overly sweet
- Mini marshmallows: add the classic s’mores gooeyness choose fresh ones with a fluffy texture for best melt
- Cinnamon sugar mixture: lends a warm spice note mix your own for freshness and better flavor balance
- Unsalted butter melted: to brush over the rolls helps with browning and adds richness keep it unsalted to control salt levels
Instructions
- Build The Base:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Roll Out The Dough:
- Roll your pizza dough into a rectangle about a quarter inch thick for the perfect balance between fluffy and sturdy.
- Layer Chocolate And Marshmallows:
- Evenly scatter the chopped chocolate and mini marshmallows across the dough so every roll gets a little bit of both.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar:
- Sprinkle your cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the marshmallow and chocolate layer to add a touch of spice and sweetness.
- Roll And Slice:
- Starting at one end, roll the dough tightly into a log to keep the fillings inside during baking. Slice the log into one-inch pieces for perfect individual rolls.
- Bake Until Golden:
- Place the slices in your greased baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops turn a nice golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
The cinnamon sugar is my secret addition to give a cozy twist to the familiar s’mores flavors. I remember making these when my kids wanted campfire treats on a rainy day and it became our new favorite comfort food.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to maintain the gooey texture. Refrigerating can dry them out but works if you reheat gently.
Ingredient Swaps
Try swapping milk chocolate for dark or white chocolate to suit your taste or what you have on hand. You can also experiment with nut butter swirls inside for an extra punch of flavor.
Serving Ideas

These s’mores rolls combine nostalgia with ease making them a perfect treat any time you crave comfort and sweetness.
