"This isn't a straight reboot. The Tacolate swaps out Klondike's candy shell for Salt & Straw's signature mix of inventive flavors and fine ingredients. Think: a taco shell made from hand-pressed waffle cones, filled with cinnamon ancho chili ice cream, then dunked in single-origin chocolate and speckled with toasted brown rice. Each one also comes with not one, but two custom sauce packets-Mango Jalapeño and Wildberry Cinnamon-developed in collaboration with Taco Bell's flavor team."
"Salt & Straw co-founder and head ice cream maker Tyler Malek has been tinkering with this concept for nearly a decade. "It has been a dream to collaborate with Taco Bell to bring this product to life," Malek said in the launch announcement. "Nearly a decade in the making, we've developed a reimagined version of the nostalgic treat and we could not be more excited to bring our version to ice cream and tacos lovers.""
Salt & Straw and Taco Bell introduced The Tacolate, a hand-crafted reimagining of the Choco Taco, with nationwide availability beginning October 3. The Tacolate features a hand-pressed waffle cone shell filled with cinnamon ancho chili ice cream, dunked in single-origin chocolate and finished with toasted brown rice. Each Tacolate includes two custom sauces — Mango Jalapeño and Wildberry Cinnamon — developed with Taco Bell's flavor team. The collaboration traces to Salt & Straw's 2016 Wiz Bang Bar experiments and a sold-out 2022 limited run that spurred deeper partnership and broader rollout.
