These mini dessert sandwiches bring all the fun of campfire s’mores right to your kitchen table. Sweet graham crackers sandwich gooey marshmallows and melted chocolate in perfect little portions.

They’re a crowd-pleasing treat that’s great for parties, and kids absolutely love helping to make them.

What Kind of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls Should I Use?
For s’mores sliders, you’ll want to grab a package of King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls from the bakery section of your grocery store. These soft, slightly sweet rolls are perfect because they hold up well to all the gooey marshmallow and chocolate without falling apart. If you can’t find King’s Hawaiian brand, any similar sweet dinner roll will work, but try to avoid regular hamburger buns since they’re not sweet enough to complement the s’mores flavors. Make sure your rolls are fresh and soft – day-old rolls can work too, but avoid anything that feels dry or stale since it won’t absorb the butter mixture as well.
Options for Substitutions
The beauty of s’mores sliders is that you can mix things up while keeping that classic campfire taste:
- Hawaiian Sweet Rolls: If you can’t find Hawaiian rolls, brioche slider buns or even regular dinner rolls work great. The key is using something soft and slightly sweet to complement the s’mores flavors.
- Hershey Bars: Feel free to get creative with your chocolate! Dark chocolate, milk chocolate chips, or even fun flavors like cookies and cream bars can add a twist to your sliders.
- Large Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows work too – you’ll need about 4-5 cups to replace the large ones. They actually melt more evenly, so don’t worry about chopping them up.
- Graham Crackers: Regular graham crackers are perfect, but you can try cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers for extra flavor. Crush them in a food processor or just put them in a bag and roll over them with a rolling pin.
- Butter: If you’re out of butter, melted margarine works just fine for brushing the tops and mixing with the graham cracker crumbs.
Watch Out for These Mistakes While Baking
The biggest mistake with s’mores sliders is not watching the marshmallows closely during baking, as they can go from perfectly golden to burnt in just a minute or two – keep an eye on them and pull the sliders out as soon as they turn light brown.
Another common error is using too much butter on the rolls, which can make them greasy instead of crispy, so stick to a light brush of melted butter on the tops.
To prevent the chocolate from completely melting out of the sliders, place the Hershey bar pieces toward the center of each roll rather than near the edges, and don’t skip crushing the graham crackers finely – big chunks can make the sliders difficult to bite into.
For the best texture, let the sliders cool for about 5 minutes after baking so the marshmallows can set slightly while still staying gooey inside.
What to Serve With S’mores Sliders?
These s’mores sliders are pretty much a dessert party on their own, but they pair perfectly with a tall glass of cold milk or some hot cocoa if you’re going for that cozy campfire vibe. I love serving them alongside fresh strawberries or other summer fruits to balance out all that sweet, gooey goodness. If you’re hosting a backyard gathering, they go great with vanilla ice cream or even just some simple vanilla wafers for extra crunch. You could also set up a little dessert spread with these sliders as the star, adding some chocolate chip cookies or brownies for people who want to mix and match their treats.
Storage Instructions
Keep Fresh: These s’mores sliders are best enjoyed warm and gooey right after making them! If you have leftovers, wrap them individually in foil and store at room temperature for up to 2 days. The marshmallows will firm up a bit, but they’re still delicious.
Make Ahead: You can assemble these sliders completely and wrap the whole pan in foil, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time since they’ll be starting from cold. Perfect for parties when you want to prep ahead!
Warm Up: To bring back that melty goodness, wrap individual sliders in foil and pop them in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. You can also microwave them for 20-30 seconds, but the oven method keeps the rolls from getting too soft.

Ingredients
For the rolls and assembly:
- 1 package hawaiian sweet rolls
- 5 milk chocolate bars (such as hershey’s)
- 1 bag large marshmallows (10 oz)
- 8 graham crackers, crushed
For the buttery topping:
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 8 graham crackers, crushed
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Brush the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with some of the melted unsalted butter.
Sprinkle one-third of the crushed graham crackers evenly across the bottom of the pan to create the base.
Step 2: Layer the Rolls, Chocolate, and Marshmallows
- 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 5 milk chocolate bars (such as Hershey’s)
- 1 bag large marshmallows (10 oz)
Without separating the Hawaiian sweet rolls, carefully slice the entire package horizontally to create a top and bottom half.
Place the bottom half of the rolls, still attached, into the prepared pan.
Lay the milk chocolate bars evenly over the bottom buns, then arrange the large marshmallows in a single even layer over the chocolate.
Step 3: Assemble the Sliders and Top with Butter and Graham Crackers
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (remaining from Step 1)
- 8 graham crackers, crushed (remaining from Step 1)
Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back on.
Pour the remaining melted butter over the rolls, making sure to use a pastry brush to spread it evenly over the surface and along the sides.
Sprinkle all of the remaining crushed graham crackers on top to create a crunchy crust.
I like to make sure the butter gets along the edges for extra crispy sides!
Step 4: Bake the S’mores Sliders
Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the marshmallows are melty.
Serve immediately for the ultimate gooey s’mores experience!
