Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla Recipe
Introduction
Experience the gooey delight of homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla, a fun twist on the classic campfire treat. Combining melted chocolate, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs inside crispy tortillas, this dessert quesadilla is quick to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
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 (Ghirardelli chocolate chips recommended)
- 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 your mise en place and heat the griddle. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs, measure the marshmallows and chocolate pieces, and have softened butter ready. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low temperature to be ready for cooking.
- Step 2: Butter and layer the tortillas with filling. Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla, buttered side down, onto the hot griddle. Evenly sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs across the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered side up.
- Step 3: Cook and flip until golden and melted. Let the quesadilla cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and slightly crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze slightly. Adjust heat if sizzling sounds are too loud.
- Step 4: Cool and slice into wedges. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to cool for 1 minute to set the filling. Slice into triangular wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Dust with powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness and presentation.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate pieces or add a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs.
- If you don’t have a griddle, you can cook the quesadilla in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Use fresh marshmallows for better melting and gooey texture; stale marshmallows tend not to melt well.
Storage
Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours for best texture. Reheat gently in a low-temperature oven or on a skillet to melt the filling again—microwaving may cause a soggy exterior and uneven heating.

FAQs
Can I make this recipe without a Blackstone griddle?
Yes, you can use a regular non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan on the stove over medium-low heat. The key is to cook slowly to allow the filling to melt without burning the tortillas.
What can I substitute for milk chocolate pieces?
You can use dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, or even peanut butter chips for different flavor variations. Just choose a type that melts well to create that gooey effect inside the quesadilla.

Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh, not stale)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (Ghirardelli chocolate chips recommended)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed, about 8–10 crackers)
Tortilla and Butter
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- Approximately 2 tbsp softened butter for greasing and layering
Topping (Optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle: Begin by crushing the graham crackers finely using a rolling pin within a sealed bag for consistent texture. Measure out the marshmallows, milk chocolate pieces, and have softened butter ready. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low temperature. Having all ingredients prepped ensures a smooth cooking process.
- Butter and Layer the Tortillas with Filling: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place the first tortilla buttered-side down on the heated griddle. Quickly and evenly sprinkle the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and crushed graham cracker crumbs over the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered-side up, to create a sandwich that will crisp beautifully on the outside.
- Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted: Let the quesadilla cook without disturbance for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom tortilla turns golden brown and crispy. Check to avoid burning. Carefully flip using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden with the filling starting to melt and ooze slightly from the edges. Listen for a gentle sizzle to maintain the right heat.
- Cool and Slice Into Wedges: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and allow it to cool for 1 minute to let the filling set slightly for neat slicing. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut into triangular wedges. Optionally, dust lightly with powdered sugar to add sweetness and enhance presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh small marshmallows for better melting and gooey texture.
- Softened butter spreads more evenly and aids in achieving a crispy golden exterior.
- Maintain medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure center ingredients melt properly.
- Crushing graham crackers finely makes the texture consistent and pleasant in every bite.
- Powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
