Ingredients
Let’s talk about the ingredients needed to make these delicious little heavenly bites of goodness! There are only a few, and chances are you have some of them on hand already.
- Canned Crescent Rolls – So, of course, canned crescents are the flaky, doughy base for your chocolatey s’mores crescent rolls dessert. You can go with a name brand or go with the generic brand, as it’s usually cheaper.
- Chocolate Chips – We used mini chocolate chips, but you can choose regular-sized chips.
- Marshmallows – Pillowy soft marshmallows transform into tantalizing gooiness in the air fryer for that nostalgic sweetness reminiscent of those campfire nights. We used mini marshmallows so that they fit inside the crescents.
- Graham Crackers – First, we crush those graham cracker sheets into small pieces. But do not pulverize. We like to have some of those pieces for that nice crunchy texture that contrasts with the softness of the crescent rolls.
- Egg – That egg is responsible for that golden brown color.
- Milk – The milk thins out the egg to make it more spreadable.

How to Make Air Fryer S’mores Crescent Rolls
Now that you know about the ingredients you need, let’s talk about how to make these simple treats. The first thing you need to do is preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
Unroll the crescent rolls and place them on a pan. Then, add the chocolate chips and marshmallows to the wide end of the crescent roll and fold the ends over as shown on the right side of the image.
Starting with the wide side, roll the crescent towards the narrow side as shown in the image above.
Brush the s’mores crescents with egg wash.
Finally, sprinkle the crescents with the broken graham cracker pieces.
Hint: Seal the air fryer s’mores crescents well so they don’t leak while cooking.
Variations
These air fryer s’mores crescent rolls are so good that you’ll love them as is, but if you want to change them up some, we’ve come up with some excellent ways to do just that.
- Toasted Coconut – You know, toasted coconut would make for an amazing upgrade for your basic s’mores crescent rolls recipe.
- White Chocolate Raspberry – Okay, so go ahead and swap out the milk chocolate for white chocolate, and add some raspberry jam for an elegant upgrade.
- Salted Caramel – We love salted caramel, so why don’t you go ahead and add some salted caramel chips to your crescent rolls. It’s an excellent and unexpected addition.
- Peanut Butter – We know full well how delicious peanut butter combines with chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows as seen in our gourmet peanut butter recipe. Add that deliciousness to crescent rolls for an amazing treat.
Equipment
The only special equipment you need to make this recipe is an air fryer, we like the Instant Pot Vortex Air Fryer.
Storage
If you plan on eating these air fryer s’mores crescents within a couple of days, storing them on the countertop in an airtight container is fine. However, for more extended storage, slide that container in the fridge for up to a week.
When you are ready to eat them, they are best when reheated. Place them in the air fryer at 350 degrees for a few minutes.
Top tip
Please make sure you carefully pinch the crescent rolls closed to make sure the filling doesn’t ooze out.
FAQ
We found two ways to ensure that the chocolate and marshmallows do not ooze out of the crescents. First, make sure that you pinch them close along the seam of the rolls. Next, use the appropriate temperature. We bake them to 350 degrees so that they cook and the chocolate and marshmallow become gooey but don’t ooze out.
Yes! Making the air fryer crescents in advance is a great way to plan ahead. Just pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes when you are ready to eat them.
Nope! We use whichever brand is on sale at the time we grocery shop. Of course, if you find a brand you like best, go for it!
