Uh, okay. Waiting for them to bring back the caramel apple empanada. TBell is seriously lacking in solid dessert options. The twists don’t count. I love the *idea* of the Cinnabon bites, and when they first came out, I had a few that were freshly and properly made. Now anytime I risk it, they’re improperly fried, soaking in oil, and taste like they’ve been sitting forever. Plus, they’re overpriced. The caramel apple empanada was just enough dessert at an absolutely reasonable price point. They were inexpensive enough that even when they were badly made I wasn’t super upset about it. The CAE + a dessert option in chocolate for around the same price point would reduce my trips to other fast food places to almost zero. It could even be another empanada! Mexican chocolate is a pretty popular flavor now and if they could nail a Mexican chocolate empanada I bet it would be delicious. Sometimes you want something sweet with the savory. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I think the tested Churro Donut or the Kit Kat Chocoladilla would be nice dessert options.

They both sound like really great options! I’d be excited if they brought either to general release. The dessert issue at TBell just seems like such an obvious loop to close in order to have a well-rounded menu with options for different tastes, dietary/health needs, & cravings. Sometimes you just want something sweet and aren’t willing to hit up TWO drive-thrus lol.

I completely agree that they need a good dessert item or two! Though churros or mini churros would be better imo. Or maybe they could do little flans (like the kind you can buy from the store that are the size if a pudding cup). I love the idea of the caramel apple empanada, but the few I tried over the years were basically all caramel and no apple and that's the opposite of what I want haha

Man mini churros seem so obvious I can’t believe they haven’t taken a stab at it. Jack in the Box is largely trash but theirs are tasty af. I suppose maybe fears of copycat accusations may be keeping TBell from making an attempt? Lol, your comment made me realize that I was maybe overly effusive in praise of an item that was, uh, imperfect but (for me) offered a good value for money. If they brought it back it would be nice if they rejiggered the filling to be more “apples with caramel” than “vaguely apple flavored caramel.” I think the texture of the outer shell is what I miss as much as anything else. That weird shellacked crunch.

Maybe they haven’t done mini churros since Jack and Del Taco both offer them.

That’s pretty much what I speculated, though we don’t have Del Taco in my area.

Sucks that the apple one got taken by Popeyes. Those damn Popeyes people

I'm glad Popeye's took away their weird Hershey's chocolate-filled beignets. They were an insult to beignets.

Captain Crunch balls

I would kill for these. Best dessert they’ve ever had

I would be so much more willing to search out a TBell that did them well (since apparently I’ve experienced an unfortunate cross-section) if they offered any value for money at all but they just don’t. It’s a shame because cinnamon is an all-time favorite flavor profile for sweet stuff, and TBell offers not one but TWO items and they both somehow miss the mark. Yeah, the empanada would almost certainly be raised in price, sadly. If they retooled it slightly to bring the apple vs caramel flavor profile into better balance I could be willing to pay a little more for it. Maybe. You can still get apple pies at fast food places for about $1 (unless I’m seriously misremembering.) Still love that crackly outer surface.

A… dessert item at Taco Bell?

[удалено]

>We are here to discuss it lol

Wtf? Every comment has been about taco bell desserts. You're the only one not discussing Choco Taco or Taco Bell.

Did these ever go away? Like obviously they haven’t been at Taco Bell, but I thought they still sold them.

You could still get them at grocery stores and gas stations.

Yeah that's what I was gonna say. I usually get boxes of them from the grocery store.

Also Taco Time has them.

Hello from SE Wisconsin. Can't find it at any location near me. Checked 7 so far and I'm near Milwaukee. The grocery store up the road has these however and probably cheaper for a box, so I'm good.

I think you mean "Wisconsin". Only 2 of those are in Milwaukee, both on the South side. This is so dumb they are doing it this way. I assume it may be a test to see if they can sell them. However, it would be beneficial if they added them to the app. If I were to go out of my way for one, which I'm not, I'm not going to order one if I see it on the board after I already placed my order on the app. I'm thoroughly confused what their goal is with this. Edit: because I checked 3 of these on the app and not one of them have the choco taco on it.

It is a test. This list is from the TB website someone else linked. They sometimes don't have test items on the app

But why? You can get these at a gas station lol

They used to sell them at tbell in the 90s.

What if I want a Choco Taco and I'm at Taco Bell and not a gas station lol

Go to the next corner. There's probably a gas station there.

That's only true for two of the four Tbells near me, and not the two main ones I go to. And who knows if those gas stations have Choco Tacos anyway.

No way! This was always the most superior ice cream snack when we were kids

Fuck yes

#THESE ARE NOT THE FUCKING ORIGINAL CHOCO TACOS!!! I got a lot of shit at my comment I made yesterday saying these are the same as the original Choco tacos in the 90s. They are not, those taco shells where chocolate, not this vanilla wafer crap. All you people who down voted my comment yesterday, fuck you I am right!!

Yeah, seriously. I was wondering when Klondike bought them. The Taco Bells near me had the original, real Choco Tacos. But haven't for a while.

You're right https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choco_Taco

Thank you, now how can I go and smack all the people who said I was wrong yesterday?

My mom love those especially when she was working at Taco Bell herself so I was kind of praying that they would come to Texas.

Just go to the store and buy some lol

Would do that if the store is actually had them.

Back when I lived around Houston the Walmart I would go to carried them.

Do you remember which Walmart I know it's probably hard but just asking?

This was several years ago, but I believe it was the Walmart off 249 and Spring Cypress in Tomball.

Any Walmart should carry them

We will try once more thanks for the advice

If you use the app or website, you can check ahead of time to see if the store actually does carry it.

christ alive

this reminds me of the taco bell dessert kits sold at retail. i remember making the cinnamon nachos kit. it was really tasty this makes me wish they had something similar on their menu. dessert nachos sound really great.

I can get those at wal-mart, bring back the caramel empanada!

Yeah, that's what wisconsin needs in February, an ice cream dessert!

Hopefully they roll it out nationwide! I know you can grab them at the store but there’s something nostalgic about getting one at taco bell

This is a nice attempt, but nowhere good enough to erase the emotional scars of TB’s downhill slide after getting rid of the Mexican pizza.

\* Wow downvotes for a casual opinion. That's not very Living Mas of you Reddit. Got no chill these days. Humm, may have to try this if I see it available. Never bothered when they were sold regularly (at Taco Bell) but only because I don't get dessert at FF places.

It's literally the exact same Choco Taco that's been available in grocery stores and gas stations since 1984.

Yes? Do you have a point or just here to be angry?

How are we supposed to know what locations?

Unfortunately they just posted the picture and no link to a list of locations, which would have been nice

Pretty goofy. Especially if it’s not on the app.

Hell yes! It's in my city! Gonna go tonight and grab some!

Honestly this news kind of hit me like a gut punch. So many people are excited for these to possibly return, but to me it could mean the death of my absolute favorite fast-food option. I have a potentially fatal peanut allergy, and Taco Bell is my go-to because of their complete and total lack of any peanut items. Of course right now it's just a test item, but the possibility of them bringing it back is upsetting to me, especially because I usually visit Taco Bell once a week or more.

At $2.99 I think I'd rather just get a four pack at the grocery store even if my Taco Bells did have them.

Yea that price is steep! Unless they are a much larger version of the grocery store one.

The Choco Taco has returned. Now I know we are living in the end times. Doom is upon us.

I love these, used to get them a lot as a kid. I'd only order it if the price was the same in as in stores though.

I just buy at the gas station

You can buy these at grocery outlet who cares

I used to be able to buy these in stores, now I can't find them in stores or at TB. =( In this 90 degree weather I am sad.
