Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Smores Roll Ups

Putting together this scrumptious Smores Dessert is far easier than you might imagine. We have outlined the entire process in simple, clear steps to guarantee your roll-ups turn out perfectly golden and delightfully gooey every time. Pop on your apron, and let’s begin!

Step 1: Prepare Your Workstation and Bread

First things first, let’s get all our components organised. In a shallow dish or on a small plate, combine the 50g of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create the outer coating. Put this to one side for a moment.

Next, attend to your bread slices. With a sharp serrated knife, neatly trim the crusts from all sides. Don’t discard them! You can toast them with a bit of butter and sugar for a lovely sweet snack later. Once the crusts are off, use a rolling pin to press each slice of bread until it is very thin. This is a vital step, as it helps the bread roll up neatly and achieve a beautiful crispness when cooked.

Step 2: Create the Cinnamon Butter Spread

In a small bowl, mix the 60g of softened butter, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. If you’re including it, this is the time to add a dash of vanilla extract. Blend everything with a fork or a small spatula until it forms a smooth, creamy, and wonderfully aromatic spread. This sweet, buttery layer is what elevates these Roll Ups to something truly special.

Step 3: Assemble Your Smores Roll Ups

Now comes the most enjoyable part! Arrange your flattened bread slices on a clean, flat surface. Spread a thin, even layer of your cinnamon butter mixture across one side of each slice, making sure to cover it right to the edges.

Along the top third of each bread slice, arrange a line of your chosen fillings. Start with a row of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, then add a line of halved large marshmallows or a generous scattering of mini ones. Take care not to overstuff them, as this can make rolling them up tricky and may cause the filling to ooze out while cooking. A modest amount is all you need for that perfect molten centre.

Step 4: Roll and Coat

Beginning at the filled edge, carefully and snugly roll up each slice of bread into a tight log shape. The thinned bread should hold its form nicely. Give the seam a gentle pinch to help it seal.

Next, take your melted butter and lightly brush it over the entire exterior of each roll-up. As soon as it’s coated in butter, roll it immediately in the cinnamon-sugar mix you prepared earlier. Make sure every surface is generously covered—this is what creates that divine, crispy, caramelised crust.

Step 5: Cook to Golden Perfection

Set a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. There is no need for extra oil or butter, as the coating on the roll-ups provides enough. Gently place the prepared roll-ups into the hot pan, starting with the seam-side down to help seal them securely.

Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, turning them carefully with tongs until they are golden brown and crisp all over. The warmth will melt the Chocolate Marshmallow filling into a glorious, gooey river of deliciousness. Watch them closely, as the sugar coating can burn if the heat is set too high. Once they’re perfectly browned, transfer them from the pan and serve straight away while they are warm and the centre is molten.

Tips, Tricks, and Tasty Variations

While this classic recipe is a guaranteed hit, we always believe there’s space for a little culinary creativity. Following a satisfying main meal like our comforting Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta Recipe, a distinctive dessert can truly elevate the experience. Here are some of our top tips and variations to take your Smores Roll Ups to the next level.

Expert Tips for Success

• Choose the Right Bread: For the best results, use a soft, fresh, standard white sandwich loaf. Its pliability allows it to be flattened easily without any risk of tearing.
• Don’t Skip Flattening: This step is absolutely crucial! It provides a sturdier structure that contains the filling and stops the roll-ups from becoming soggy during cooking.
• Alternative Cooking Methods:
  • Oven-Baked: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C Fan). Arrange the coated roll-ups on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.
  • Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 190°C. Place the roll-ups in the basket, ensuring they are in a single layer, and air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until they are perfectly crispy.

Delicious Variations to Try

• Nutella & Banana: Exchange the chocolate chips for a liberal smear of Nutella and add a few thin slices of fresh banana before you roll them up.
• Biscoff & White Chocolate: Opt for Biscoff spread instead of the cinnamon butter and fill with white chocolate chips for a wonderfully caramelised, spiced taste.
• Peanut Butter Cup: Spread a delicate layer of smooth peanut butter onto the bread and use chopped peanut butter cups for your chocolate filling.
• Salted Caramel: Use caramel-filled chocolate squares and add a tiny sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before rolling. The salt provides a beautiful contrast to the sweetness.
