How to Make S’MORES SWIRL ROLLS — FULL RECIPE
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into making these delightful S’MORES SWIRL ROLLS! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be on your way to a sweet treat that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Start by whisking together warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. This mixture needs a little time to work its magic, so let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes slightly foamy. It’s like watching a little science experiment unfold right in your kitchen!
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
Once your yeast mixture is foamy, it’s time to add in the large egg, softened butter, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined. This step is crucial because it sets the foundation for your fluffy rolls!
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Now comes the fun part! Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture. Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until it forms a soft, elastic ball. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour. Think of it as giving your dough a little workout!
Step 4: Let the Dough Rise
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours. You want it to double in size. This is the perfect time to sip on a cup of coffee or tea while you wait!
Step 5: Prepare the Filling
While the dough is rising, mix the melted butter with the creamy chocolate spread in a small bowl. This luscious mixture will be the heart of your rolls. Set aside the chocolate chips for later; they’ll add that extra gooey goodness!
Step 6: Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about 40×30 cm. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the dough, making sure every inch is covered. It’s like painting a canvas of chocolatey delight!
Step 7: Add Chocolate Chips
Now, sprinkle the chocolate chips generously on top of the chocolate spread. This is where the magic happens! Each bite will be filled with melty chocolate goodness.
Step 8: Cut and Arrange Rolls
Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one long side. Once rolled, cut it into 8 to 10 equal pieces. Place these rolls into a greased baking dish, making sure they’re snug but not overcrowded. They’ll puff up beautifully!
Step 9: Second Rise
Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes. This second rise is essential for achieving that fluffy texture we all love. It’s like giving them a little more time to dream!
Step 10: Bake the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the rolls have risen, pop them in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until they’re lightly golden. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste!
Step 11: Toast the Marshmallows
Finally, it’s time to add the finishing touch! You have two options for toasting the marshmallows:
- Option 1: Spread a thick layer of marshmallow fluff over the warm rolls and use a handheld torch to toast until golden.
- Option 2: Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and return the dish to the oven. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning!
And there you have it! Your S’MORES SWIRL ROLLS are ready to be devoured. Enjoy the sweet, gooey goodness!
Tips for Success
- Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to keep the yeast alive.
- Don’t rush the rising time; it’s crucial for fluffy rolls.
- Use a bench scraper to help cut the dough evenly.
- Experiment with different chocolate spreads for unique flavors.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows while toasting to avoid burning!
Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowl: A large bowl for combining ingredients. A sturdy glass or ceramic bowl works well.
- Whisk: For mixing the yeast and milk. A fork can also do the trick!
- Rolling pin: Essential for rolling out the dough. A wine bottle can serve as a fun alternative!
- Baking dish: A greased 9×13 inch dish is perfect for the rolls. Any oven-safe dish will work.
- Kitchen towel: To cover the dough while it rises. A clean cloth or plastic wrap can substitute.
Variations
- Nut-Free Option: Substitute the chocolate spread with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative.
- Gluten-Free Version: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make these rolls gluten-free.
- Fruit Additions: Add sliced strawberries or bananas to the filling for a fruity twist on the classic s’mores flavor.
- Spiced Up: Mix in a teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dough for a warm, spicy kick.
- Vegan Adaptation: Replace the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based butter and milk for a vegan-friendly treat.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair your S’MORES SWIRL ROLLS with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Serve with a side of fresh berries to add a refreshing contrast to the sweetness.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra touch of decadence.

FAQs about S’MORES SWIRL ROLLS — FULL RECIPE
Can I make S’MORES SWIRL ROLLS in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls up to the second rise, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Just let them come to room temperature before baking. This way, you can enjoy fresh rolls with minimal effort!
What can I use instead of chocolate spread?
If you don’t have chocolate spread on hand, you can use peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist. Just remember to adjust the sweetness if needed!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Just reheat in the oven for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-baked taste!

Yes, you can! Just cut regular marshmallows in half or quarters to ensure they melt evenly on top of your rolls. They’ll still give you that delightful s’mores flavor!
What’s the best way to toast the marshmallows?
Both methods work well! If you have a handheld torch, it gives a beautiful, even toast. If you’re using the oven, just keep a close eye while broiling to prevent burning. Either way, you’ll end up with deliciously toasted marshmallows!
