Whether I want a quick dessert or a fun afternoon snack, this recipe never disappoints.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how quick and fun these are to make. I get all the classic s’mores textures and flavors—melty chocolate, sticky marshmallow, and graham cracker crunch—without needing a firepit. It’s all made in one pan, with ingredients I usually have on hand. Plus, they’re super easy to customize and great for sharing, making them perfect for family treats or party desserts.

ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 8 corn tortillas

• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 2 cups mini marshmallows

• 8 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs

directions

I start by preheating a large skillet or grill over medium heat and coating it with cooking spray.

I place all 8 tortillas onto the hot skillet. On four of them, I evenly layer the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs. I let the marshmallows puff slightly, which takes about a minute.

Then I top each with one of the remaining tortillas and press gently with a spatula to help seal the quesadillas. I carefully flip each one and cook for about another minute, until both sides are golden and crisp.

Once cooked, I transfer them to a plate and let them sit for 1–2 minutes so they can firm up a bit. Then I slice each quesadilla into four triangles with a pizza cutter and serve them warm.

Variations

When I want a twist on the classic, I swap out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips or white chocolate. Sometimes I add a swipe of Nutella or peanut butter to the inside of the tortilla before layering the other ingredients. For a fruitier version, I’ve even added thin slices of banana or strawberries—delicious and just a little indulgent.

storage/reheating

These are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. To reheat, I place them back in the skillet over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes per side, just until they’re warm and the chocolate is melted again. I don’t recommend microwaving—they lose that crispy texture.

FAQs

Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn?

Yes, I often use flour tortillas when I want a softer, more flexible quesadilla. They crisp up nicely and hold the filling well.

Can I make these ahead of time?

They’re best served immediately, but I’ve assembled them in advance and cooked them right before serving. I just cover and refrigerate them for up to a couple of hours beforehand.

What’s the best chocolate to use?

I love semi-sweet chocolate chips, but milk chocolate or dark chocolate works too. I’ve also chopped up chocolate bars for extra gooeyness.

Can I make these in the oven?

Yes, I lay them flat on a baking sheet, bake at 375°F for 5–7 minutes, flipping once. It’s great for making a batch all at once.

How can I make them extra crispy?

I brush the outside of the tortillas lightly with butter or a bit of oil before cooking. That gives them a golden, crispy finish.

Are they kid-friendly?

Definitely! Kids love making and eating these. I just keep an eye on them while cooking to avoid any hot spills.

Can I add other toppings or fillings?

Absolutely. I’ve added crushed cookies, a drizzle of caramel, or even chopped nuts for a fun twist.

Do I have to use cooking spray?

No, I sometimes use a light brushing of oil or butter instead. It adds flavor and helps the quesadillas crisp up nicely.

Can I freeze them?

I wouldn’t recommend freezing—marshmallows don’t reheat well from frozen, and the texture gets soggy.

What can I serve with these?

They’re great on their own, but sometimes I serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an over-the-top treat.

Conclusion

S’mores Quesadillas are one of my favorite go-to sweet snacks because they come together so quickly and bring such cozy, nostalgic flavor. They’re simple, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. Whether I’m making them for a group or just craving something sweet, they always hit the spot.
