The Choco Taco was marketed under the Klondike brand as "The Original Ice Cream Taco".

Taco Bell Is Making Its Own Version of a Choco Taco

Later in 2022, Salt & Straw reintroduced a "Chocolate Tacolate" for a limited time on its Portland, OR in-person menu as well as online. Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant was familiar with the shop's Chocolate Tacolate item and reached out about the collaboration.

A waffle cone is typically made from a combination of flour, salt, egg, sugar, butter, and milk. (Baskin Robbins' waffle cones also include a dash of cinnamon and some recipes call for other flavorings like vanilla.) These cones are more likely to be made in-house. They are larger and less sturdy than a sugar cone.

Paletas are a Mexican frozen treat made from fresh natural fruits such as strawberry and mango or made from rich creamy ingredients such as Chocolate and Sicilian pistachio.

Sesos are brains, usually from a cow or goat, and they make a popular Mexican taco filling. Cooks and diners prize tacos de sesos for their soft, silky, almost custard-like texture, which provides a nice contrast to crunchy or fresh toppings such as onions, cilantro, and lime.

Despite trendy flavors like cookie dough swirl, Neapolitan and chocolate caramel pretzel, the best-selling bar remains the classic, vanilla ice cream square covered in a hard chocolate shell.

CBS3 found some listings with the price set as high as $1,000, but not all sellers are selling that high. Some are selling their box of 24 for $350, while others are selling individual Choco Tacos with a starting bid of $9.99.

Some 18 months after Unilever-owned Klondike discontinued the Choco Taco, Taco Bell is bringing it back. Technically, the new menu item isn't the same beloved ice cream novelty that people so publicly mourned, but it might be close enough to scratch that nostalgic itch.

In 1993, Unilever acquired the Isaly Klondike Company and the Klondike® brand became a part of Good Humors-Breyers™. This acquisition put Americans of every age within reach of the most comprehensive line of chilly treats in dessert history.

Did Taco Bell carry Choco Tacos? ›

Taco Bell and ice cream company Salt & Straw are bringing back a beloved dessert that was discontinued in 2022. The two brands have teamed up to create a brand new version of Klondike's classic Choco Taco (the original is shown above), which they're calling an Ice Cream Chocolate Taco.

The waffle cones and bowls are extremely susceptible to the effects of humidity, and can begin softening in as little as 15 minutes if left in the open. Likewise, if stored in a container while warm, the waffle cones and bowls may steam themselves and soften.

Denser than a waffle cone, a sugar cone is ideal for people who take their time eating their ice cream because it won't get soggy as quickly as other cones. Waffle cones are bigger, fluffier, and have a more varied flavor profile than sugar cones.

Sugar cones pair well with almost any ice cream and are the best option for slow eaters. Because they're so crunchy, they won't get soggy if your ice cream starts to melt in warm weather. If you like a good crunch with your ice cream, sugar cones are the right option for you.

An ice cream cone or poke (Ireland/Scotland) is a brittle, cone-shaped pastry, usually made of a wafer similar in texture to a waffle, made so ice cream can be carried and eaten without a bowl or spoon, for example, the Hong Kong–style bubble cone.

The earliest mention of ice cream sandwiches in North America come in the year of 1899. Street vendors in New York recently sold slabs of ice cream between sheets of paper, called "hokey pokeys", until someone had the idea of using cookies instead.

Around the world, ice cream sandwiches go by a variety of names including the Monaco Bar, Giant Sandwich, Maxibon, Cream Between, Vanilla Slice, and many more.
