While the sweet tacos were originally available for National Taco Day last October, now the tasty treat has made a return. Cold Stone Creamery's Ice Cream Waffle Tacos are taco-shaped waffle cones that come plain, chocolate-dipped, or sprinkled. From there, fans can add their favorite [Cold Stone Creamery ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-stone-creamery-ice-cream-flavors) along with sweet toppings like hot fudge or brownie pieces. Unfortunately, the Ice Cream Waffle Tacos are a one-day-only kind of deal, so you'll have to visit your local Cold Stone Creamery on May 5th in order to sink your teeth into this festive treat.
