Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla Recipe
Introduction
Enjoy a fun twist on a classic campfire treat with this Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla. Crispy tortillas hold gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham cracker crumbs for a delightful dessert you can make right on your griddle.
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 (such as Ghirardelli chocolate chips)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Butter for greasing (softened, about 2 tbsp)
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh for better melting)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your ingredients and heat your griddle to medium-low. Crush the graham crackers finely and measure out the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and softened butter. Having everything ready will make cooking seamless.
- Step 2: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla buttered-side down on the griddle. Quickly sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate, and graham cracker crumbs evenly over the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered-side up.
- Step 3: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling begins to ooze. Adjust heat if the sizzling is too loud to avoid burning.
- Step 4: Remove the quesadilla and let it cool for 1 minute to let the filling set slightly. Slice into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Dust with powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness and presentation.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best melting results; stale marshmallows don’t melt as well.
- Substitute milk chocolate with dark or white chocolate chips for flavor variations.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts inside before cooking.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor complexity.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a nonstick skillet or standard griddle works just as well.
Storage
Store any leftover quesadilla in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in a skillet over low heat to keep the exterior crisp while melting the filling again. Avoid microwaving, which can make the tortillas soggy.

FAQs
Can I use gluten-free tortillas for this recipe?
Yes, gluten-free tortillas can be used as a substitute if you need a gluten-free option. Just ensure they are soft and pliable for folding and cooking.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from sticking to the griddle?
Make sure to generously butter the outer sides of the tortillas and keep the griddle at medium-low heat. This helps create a barrier and slow melting so marshmallows don’t stick or burn.

- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: American
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)
Quesadilla
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 2 tbsp softened butter (for greasing tortillas)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, for sweetness and presentation)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle: Begin by gathering and measuring all your ingredients for the filling—crush the graham crackers finely using a rolling pin inside a sealed bag, measure the marshmallows and chocolate pieces, and have your softened butter ready. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat to ensure even cooking once you start assembling.
- 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 onto the hot griddle. Quickly sprinkle the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and crushed graham cracker crumbs evenly over the unbuttered side to ensure each bite is balanced. Top with the second tortilla, buttered-side facing up; the butter will help create a golden, crispy exterior when cooked.
- Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted: Let the quesadilla cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, checking underneath until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip it over with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes or until it achieves the same golden color and the filling starts to ooze out slightly. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle sizzle without burning.
- Cool and Slice Into Wedges: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for 1 minute to allow the filling to set slightly. Slice into triangular wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Optionally, dust lightly with powdered sugar for enhanced sweetness and an attractive presentation. Serve warm for the best melty texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, small marshmallows for better melting and gooey texture.
- Ensure the griddle is set to medium-low to avoid burning the tortilla shell while melting the filling.
- Softened butter spreads more easily and creates an even, golden crisp on the tortillas.
- Dusting powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice sweet touch and look.
- Make sure to let the quesadilla rest briefly before cutting to prevent the filling from spilling out.
