Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla Recipe
Introduction
Nothing beats the cozy combination of s’mores and a crispy quesadilla in this fun, homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla. This dessert treat melts chocolate and marshmallows inside two buttery tortillas sprinkled with crunchy graham cracker crumbs for a perfect gooey snack.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed, about 8-10 crackers)
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (I use Ghirardelli chocolate chips)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, adds sweetness and presentation)
- Butter for greasing (softened, about 2 tbsp)
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh, not stale, for better melting)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare all your filling ingredients and heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low. Crush graham crackers finely using a rolling pin inside a sealed bag. Measure out marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and have softened butter ready. Having everything prepped helps ensure smooth cooking.
- Step 2: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place the first tortilla buttered-side down on the hot griddle. Quickly sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs evenly over the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered-side up.
- Step 3: Cook the quesadilla undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze. Listen for a gentle sizzle to avoid burning.
- Step 4: Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for 1 minute to allow the filling to set slightly. Slice into triangular wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Dust with powdered sugar if desired for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best melt and gooey texture; stale marshmallows won’t melt as well.
- Try different chocolate types like dark or white chocolate for unique flavors.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or crushed pretzels with the filling.
- Cook on medium-low heat to ensure the filling melts without burning the tortillas.
Storage
Store leftover quesadilla wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to crisp back up the tortilla and warm the filling without burning. Avoid microwaving to keep the crispy texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this without a Blackstone griddle?
Yes, you can use a non-stick skillet or a regular griddle on your stovetop. Just maintain medium-low heat and watch carefully to avoid burning.
What can I substitute if I don’t have graham crackers?
You can use crushed digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or even crushed pretzels for a salty-sweet twist. Just crush them finely before using.

Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (e.g., Ghirardelli chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 8–10 crackers, finely crushed)
Quesadilla Base
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened, for greasing)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle: Start by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs, measuring the marshmallows and chocolate pieces, and softening the butter. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or any flat griddle to medium-low heat. Having all ingredients ready ensures smooth assembly and cooking.
- Butter and Layer the Tortillas with Filling: Evenly spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place the first tortilla buttered-side down onto the hot griddle. Quickly scatter marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs evenly on the non-buttered side. Place the second tortilla on top with the buttered side facing up to create a sandwich.
- Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted: Let the quesadilla cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and slightly crispy. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze from the edges. Adjust heat if you hear a loud sizzle to prevent burning.
- Cool and Slice Into Wedges: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for about 1 minute to set the filling just enough for easy slicing. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into triangular wedges. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired for added sweetness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows, not stale, for optimal melting consistency.
- Maintain medium-low heat on the griddle to prevent burning the tortillas while melting the filling inside.
- Softened butter helps achieve a crispy, golden exterior.
- Powdered sugar dusting is optional but adds a nice sweetness and decorative touch.
- Serve immediately for the best gooey texture.
