I remember the first time I made these S’mores Sliders—it was during a family gathering where I wanted to bring something that would instantly transport everyone back to those nostalgic summer nights around a campfire. The gooey marshmallows, rich chocolate, and golden graham cracker flavor tucked inside soft, buttery rolls—it was an instant hit.

Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper for baking
These ingredients come together to create a perfectly balanced dessert with layers of textures and flavors—soft bread, gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and a crispy graham cracker crunch. Whether you’re making them for a potluck, a weeknight treat, or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, S’mores Sliders never disappoint.
HOW TO PREPARE THIS RECIPE
Making S’mores Sliders is one of the easiest desserts you can prepare, especially when you’re short on time but want to impress. I’ve made these dozens of times, and every single batch disappears within minutes. What’s great is how quick they are to assemble, and you don’t need any special equipment—just your oven and a baking dish.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparation
-
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). While it’s heating, line a medium-sized baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup effortless.
-
Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected if possible. You should end up with one bottom half and one top half, like sandwich buns. Place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.
-
Layer the chocolate evenly across the surface of the bottom rolls. You can use semi-sweet chips, chopped chocolate bars, or any variation you prefer. Spread the chocolate all the way to the edges for full coverage in every bite.
-
Add the marshmallows generously on top of the chocolate. Make sure the marshmallows are evenly distributed, covering all the chocolate. This ensures every bite is soft and gooey.
-
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the marshmallow layer. You want a nice even layer here as well—it adds that signature s’mores crunch and flavor.
-
Place the top half of the rolls over the filling, pressing down gently to secure everything in place.
-
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. This step adds a golden finish and buttery flavor. For extra depth, mix a bit of cinnamon into the melted butter before brushing.
-
Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown, the chocolate is melted, and the marshmallows are soft and gooey. Keep an eye on them—you don’t want the marshmallows to burn.
-
Let the sliders cool for 3–5 minutes after removing them from the oven. This makes slicing easier and allows the chocolate to slightly set.
-
Slice and serve warm. Use a sharp knife to cut the sliders into individual portions. Serve as-is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Quick and Easy
This entire process takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. There’s no need for a mixer, stovetop, or complicated prep. Everything happens right in the oven, making it ideal for last-minute desserts or casual gatherings. Even beginner bakers will find this recipe approachable and satisfying.
Customizable
One of the reasons I love this recipe so much is how easily it can be tailored. You can swap the chocolate for caramel-filled squares, white chocolate chips, or even spread a layer of cookie butter under the marshmallows for something unique. You can also add sliced bananas or strawberries between the layers for a fruity twist.
Want to make it a little less sweet? Use dark chocolate. Want to go extra indulgent? Add peanut butter cups into the filling. The combinations are endless, and each variation brings out a new dimension of flavor.

FAQs
Can I assemble S’mores Sliders ahead of time?
Certainly. Afterwards, cover the dish, chill eight hours, then bake on demand.
What if I only have large marshmallows?
Simply slice them in halves; moreover, arrange the cut sides downward so they melt evenly.
Which rolls give the best texture?
Generally, brioche sliders stay pillowy; however, any soft dinner roll delivers reliable, fluffy results.
How should I reheat leftovers?
First, preheat the oven to 160 °C. Next, cover the dish loosely with foil and warm for eight minutes, thus reviving gooey filling.
Can these sliders be frozen?
Absolutely. After baking, cool them; then, wrap snugly, freeze one month, and finally reheat from frozen.
Are there nut‑free options?
Indeed. Instead of peanut‑butter add‑ins, nevertheless, choose sunflower‑seed butter or skip extra spreads altogether.
May I reduce the sweetness?
Certainly; therefore, replace semi‑sweet chips with 70 % dark chocolate and add a tiny pinch of sea salt.
Can I cook them in an air fryer?
Yes; meanwhile, set the basket to 165 °C, add the sliders, and cook six minutes, rotating halfway.
Will gluten‑free rolls work?
Certainly. Additionally, select sturdy, gluten‑free brioche‑style buns so they remain soft, yet hold the filling.
