Ingredient Notes

Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full ingredient list, check out the recipe card below.

• Unsalted butter- Pull the butter out 2 hours before using so it is softened butter.
• Milk- Use any milk and warm it to 110F. If too hot, it will kill the yeast, if too cool then it will dramatically slow the yeast down.
• Active dry yeast- I used 1 packet of yeast. This is the same thing as instant yeast. Do not use fast rise yeast.
• Eggs- Pull the large eggs out 2 hours before baking. They also need to be lightly beaten before adding to the flour.
• Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar, but dark is fine.
• Chocolate bar- I used Lindt 70% as it is my favorite. If you use milk chocolate it will be much sweeter. You can use chocolate chips instead.
• Marshmallow creme- Marshmallow creme from the grocery store is a bit too thick for this recipe, which is why it gets mixed with the water to thin it. It is also sometimes called marshmallow fluff.

Step By Step Instructions – Dough

Here is how to make the dough for the s’mores cinnamon rolls. This is for using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. For kneading by hand instructions see the notes on the recipe card.

STEP 1: Prep yeast. Heat the milk in the microwave until it is warmed to 110°F (about 1 minute). Then, pour the yeast on top of the warm milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to activate. Do not heat it above 110°F as you do not want to cook your yeast.

STEP 2: Cut in butter. Sift the all purpose flour, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Then, knead the butter in using a pastry cutter or your hands. It is done when the butter clumps are the size of a pea.

STEP 3: Combine. Add the yeast mixture and lightly beaten eggs to the flour mixture and mix on low speed until a dough begins to form.

STEP 4: Knead. Switch to medium speed to knead for 5 minutes. You should have a very soft and slightly tacky dough.

STEP 5: Dough rise. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Then, spray a large mixing bowl with non stick spray and place the dough in. Cover it with a kitchen towel or tea towel and place it in the oven. Next, turn the oven off and leave the door cracked open.

Let the dough rise in the oven for 1 hour. It should double in size after this first rise.

STEP 6: Prep chocolate and graham crackers. You can begin prep for the next stage by chopping the chocolate and pulse the graham crackers in a blender until they are small pieces.

Step By Step Instructions – Filling and Baking

Here is how to make and bake the s’mores cinnamon rolls.

STEP 1: Beat butter and sugar. Use a small bowl and hand mixer to beat the butter on high speed until it is smooth. Next, add the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix them on high until combined into a thick paste.

STEP 2: Roll dough. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Roll it into an large rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Cut any uneven edges off with a serrated knife.

STEP 3: Spread filling. Use an offset spatula to spread the filling on top of the dough. Sprinkle the chopped chocolate graham cracker pieces over top evenly.

STEP 4: Roll log. Start on the short side and begin rolling it into a tight log. Use a serrated knife to cut off uneven edges on the ends. Then, cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Make sure to gently saw when cutting so the rolls are not squished. Throw out any graham crackers pieces that fell out when rolling.

STEP 5: Second rise. Spray a 9X13 baking pan with baking nonstick spray and place the 12 rolls in the pan. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F

STEP 6: Bake. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until the tops become lightly golden brown.

STEP 7: Marshmallow topping. Pour the marshmallow creme into a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until it melts and is easy to stir. Add the water and mix it in.

STEP 8: Toast marshmallows. Pour the marshmallow over the top of the rolls using a spoon. Place them in the oven on broil until the marshmallow is lightly golden. Watch carefully to not burn it!

Overnight Rolls

Once you are done kneading the dough. Place in a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Then, cover with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge overnight. It needs to chill for a max of 16 hours.

Then in the next morning, you can pull it out and roll up the cinnamon rolls. Then, let it rise for 1 hour instead of the 20 minutes.
