The whole thing is then coated in a smattering of red sprinkles. Fans of the recent Choco Taco may notice the resemblance between the two desserts. "“Like everyone else, I was so bummed when they discontinued that ice cream treat we all grew up with!" Chef Guard explains, "I had to bring it back with my version, the Sweet Sin Taco.
