The kit comes with everything you need (sans ice cream) to make a [dessert taco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birthday-cake-oreo-cookie-ice-cream-taco), including: chocolate shells, sprinkles and chocolate sauce. In addition to the Taco Bell Choco Taco Kit, the fast food company is also selling cinnamon shells. The reception of the new kit by Internet food bloggers has been decidedly mixed, with some decrying the shells for their relative lack of strength and taste. However, unless you plan on buying a waffle iron, then there doesn't appear to be an easier way to make a delicious Choco Taco on the fly. The kits have been sighted at Wal-Mart and are said to be priced at $3. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **DIY Dessert Tacos:** A trend towards DIY dessert tacos and ice cream novelty foods made at home or on the go - **Home-made Dessert Tacos:** An opportunity to sell DIY dessert kits or pre-packaged dessert taco shells to home cooks and DIY enthusiasts - **Innovative Dessert Kits:** A trend towards innovative dessert kits capitalizing on nostalgia and the comfort food trends of younger generations ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains adopting DIY dessert kits and ice cream novelty foods offering for customers to replicate iconic menu favorites and drive at-home sales - **Supermarkets and Grocery Stores:** Offering pre-packaged dessert taco shells or DIY dessert kits catering to the growing number of home-based foodies - **Food Bloggers:** Partnering with fast food chains to create dessert taco recipes featuring their products as well as providing creative dessert taco ideas ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisanal Ice Cream Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-straw-x-taco-bell.md) - [Cookie-Based Taco Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-tacos.md) - [Restaurant-Style At-Home Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-at-home.md) - [Cinnamon-Dusted Taco Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-el-paso-1.md) - [Ice Cream-Filled Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-sin-taco.md) - [Craveable Frozen QSR Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-at-home-cravings-kits.md) - [Iced Dessert Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-ice-cream-taco.md) - [Limited-Edition Dessert Taco Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-taco-shell.md) - [Taco-Like Chocolate Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocopancake.md)
