Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadillas Recipe
Introduction
Craving a sweet twist on a classic campfire treat? These Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadillas bring the gooey, chocolatey delight of s’mores directly to your griddle. They’re quick, easy, and perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings any time of year.
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, 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 the graham crackers into fine, even crumbs by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Measure out the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and have softened butter ready. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low to get it 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 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 and flip until golden and melted. Let the quesadilla cook without moving for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and slightly crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze slightly. Adjust heat if the quesadilla sizzles too loudly to avoid burning.
- Step 4: Cool and slice into wedges. 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 extra sweetness and a pretty finish.
Tips & Variations
- For a fun twist, try adding a few sliced strawberries or banana pieces inside before cooking for added fruitiness.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat works equally well.
- Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a richer, less sweet flavor.
- To prevent sogginess, make sure your marshmallows are fresh and the butter layer isn’t too thick.
Storage
Store any leftover quesadilla wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to restore crispiness and melt the filling without burning. For best texture, enjoy fresh.

FAQs
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini ones?
Yes, but mini marshmallows melt more evenly and distribute better inside the quesadilla. If using regular-sized marshmallows, consider cutting them into smaller pieces.
What’s the best way to flip the quesadilla without it falling apart?
Use a wide spatula and support the quesadilla with your hand or another spatula. Flip gently but confidently to keep the filling inside and maintain its shape.

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 Base
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 2 tbsp butter (softened, for greasing)
Optional
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle: Begin by finely crushing the graham crackers to create even crumbs. Prepare your marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and softened butter so they are ready to use. Meanwhile, heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat to ensure gentle, even cooking.
- 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 but evenly sprinkle the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs across the non-buttered side. Carefully place the second tortilla on top, buttered-side up, to form the quesadilla.
- Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted: Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes undisturbed, allowing the bottom to become golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip it over and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until it too is golden and the filling starts to ooze slightly, indicating the chocolate and marshmallows have melted perfectly.
- Cool and Slice Into Wedges: Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow it to cool for about 1 minute so the filling sets slightly but remains warm and gooey. Slice it into triangular wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and an attractive presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh small marshmallows for optimal melting and gooey texture.
- Keep the heat medium-low to prevent burning and to allow the filling to melt evenly.
- Softened butter helps create a crispy, golden exterior on the tortillas.
- Dusting with powdered sugar is optional but enhances flavor and presentation.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan on medium-low heat can be used as alternatives.
