Klondike stated that they have had an “ unprecedented spike in demand“ across their portfolio of products, which has forced them to make decisions on the best practices they can take as a company to meet demand across the nation going forward.Īfter several years of this continuous demand, the company decided that the best option was to discontinue the Choco Taco to make room for the production of the other products it believed were better sellers.Īn unfortunate part of that decision-making process is determining when it is necessary to discontinue a product to ensure the success of the remainder of its products. The main reason behind the discontinuation of the Choco Taco is that the company has decided that its primary focus should be on the production of its other products.

I’m partial to Turkey Hill’s Fudge Ripple ice cream as the filling, but the best part is how customizable the recipe is. It’s a fun, easy project using store-bought ingredients, great for a weekend with your kids or your roommates. So I did what needed to be done and made a batch from our recipe-they went a long way toward easing my grief. My roommate and I had just eaten our way through a box of Choco Tacos a few months ago and hadn’t left a trace.

Once the waffle shell is cooled and set, pack it with softened fudge-swirled vanilla ice cream so that the ice cream is flush with the edges of the cone. ![]() As much as I adore my beloved Choco Taco, nothing was more disappointing than getting one that had clearly melted and been refrozen-I could always tell when this happened because the waffle shell would be soggy instead of crisp.
