Ingredients

Crust
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar granulated
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 each egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups graham wafers fine crumbs
1 cup coconut desiccated
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Creamy center
1/4 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar

Barbecue Portobello Quesadillas

Quesadillas are easily to make, we found this recipe and made it, I think we used too much barbecue sauce, a little bit sweet and sour, but still good, next time we will use less barbecue sauce.
