But it wasn’t killed off because of demand. Apparently, the company saw a spike in other Klondike products over the past two years and the company is managing its resources. From People:
According to a rep for Klondike, which is owned by Unilever, the Choco Taco was entirely discontinued in July due to an unprecedented spike in demand for different Klondike products over the past two years.
So, this move is a result of the supply-chain crisis? It does look that way.

Klondike explained the move in a number of tweets responding to irate customers:
“Hi – the Klondike Choco Taco has been discontinued. We know this may be very disappointing news, but we’re excited to continue offering our range of delicious frozen treats, including Klondike Cones, Shakes, Sandwiches, and of course, our signature Bar available nationwide.”

If President Biden can’t even guarantee the supply of ice cream, good luck on oil and natural gas:
“We’re sorry for disappointing you – we’ve experienced an unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio and have had to make very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide. We hope you’ll give on of our other delicious frozen treats a try!”

Klondike is working to bring the bars back to ice cream trucks in the coming years, which again suggests it’s a supply-chain problem:
We know Choco Taco is a huge fan favorite and a top seller for our out-of-home business, so this is particularly painful. We're working hard to find a way to bring Choco Taco back to ice cream trucks in the coming years.
