Today, the world lost a hero. That’s right, after nearly 40 years, the Choco Taco is no more after Klondike confirmed the beloved ice cream staple has been discontinued.
The internet was treated to the devastating news on Monday afternoon after reports circulated online that the popular summertime snack was no more. In speaking with People, a Klondike representative confirmed the discontinuation of the Choco Taco in July due to “an unprecedented spike in demand for different Klondike products over the past two years.”
For many, the waffle cone taco filled with vanilla ice cream, fudge and peanuts topped off with a chocolate coating was a cherished dessert of their youth and will be sorely missed.

A necessary but unfortunate part of this process is that we sometimes must discontinue products, even a beloved item like Choco Taco. We know this may be very disappointing, and hope you’ll try our other delicious frozen treats! https://t.co/WKRTgjDlF7
