An overhead shot of golden-brown air-fried s'mores crescent rolls arranged on a rustic wooden serving board, with one roll broken open to reveal the molten chocolate and marshmallow center oozing out invitingly. The soft natural light highlights the caramelized edges and glossy, melted filling, while a light dusting of graham cracker crumbs adds texture and color contrast. A small bowl of extra graham cracker crumbs sits nearby, alongside scattered chocolate pieces and a few whole marshmallows, creating a nostalgic campfire dessert scene in a modern kitchen setting.

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Preheat your air fryer to 165°C. While it's heating, unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate along the perforated lines to create 8 triangles. The cold dough straight from the refrigerator will be easier to handle, as warming dough becomes stickier and more difficult to shape.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Place about 1 teaspoon of graham cracker crumbs in the center of the wider end of each crescent triangle. These crumbs will absorb some of the moisture from the melting marshmallow and chocolate, preventing your rolls from becoming soggy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Place one square of chocolate on top of the graham cracker crumbs, then add a marshmallow. For extra indulgence, you can cut the marshmallow in half and sandwich the chocolate between the two pieces – this creates more even melting.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Carefully roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end containing the filling. Ensure the edges are sealed well by gently pinching them together. This prevents the marshmallow from expanding and leaking out during cooking (though a little oozing is part of the charm!).</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>In a small bowl, combine remaining graham cracker crumbs with granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using). Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter, then sprinkle with the graham cracker mixture. The butter helps the crumbs adhere and promotes beautiful golden browning.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper (make sure it's specifically designed for air fryers with holes to allow proper air circulation). Place the rolls in the basket with at least 2cm between each to allow for expansion and even cooking. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Air fry for 5-6 minutes until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown. Watch carefully during the last minute as cooking times may vary between different air fryer models. The perfect roll will be golden outside with completely melted chocolate and marshmallow inside.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Remove carefully from the air fryer and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. The filling will be extremely hot! For an extra special touch, you can drizzle with a little chocolate sauce or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy while still warm for the best gooey s'mores experience!</li></ol>

Chef’s Notes

A few helpful details for making this recipe.

Can I make these s'mores rolls in a conventional oven instead of an air fryer?

Yes! Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. You won't get quite the same crispy exterior that air frying provides, but they'll still be delicious. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 5cm apart to allow for expansion.

What are the best chocolate options for gooey air fryer s'mores?

While traditional milk chocolate works beautifully, you can experiment with dark chocolate for less sweetness, white chocolate for a different flavour profile, or even filled chocolates like caramel or peanut butter cups. For best melting, use chocolate bars rather than chips which contain stabilisers.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from leaking out during cooking?

Secure all seams by firmly pinching the dough edges. Placing the marshmallow on top of a bit of chocolate helps create a barrier. If using jumbo marshmallows, consider cutting them in half. Finally, ensure the dough is cold when working with it for better sealing properties.
