What Are Taco Bell’s New Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Empanadas?
Inspired by the beloved Caramel Apple Empanada, the new Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Empanadas bring back the fan-favorite empanada format with a decadent remix. The duo includes two distinct empanadas served together for $2.99:
- One salted caramel empanada in a classic crispy crust
- One chocolate fudge empanada wrapped in a crisp chocolatey shell filled with rich chocolate fudge
Each empanada is designed to give way to warm, velvety filling in every bite. Beginning March 19, the Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Empanadas will join Taco Bell’s Luxe Value Menu for a limited time, reinforcing the brand’s push to redefine what value looks like with rich flavors and bold innovation.
New Sweet Empanadas and Cream Chiller Joins Live Más Café Menu
The empanada innovation extends beyond the traditional menu with the new Sweet Empanadas and Cream Chiller at Live Más Café locations. The frozen drink blends pieces of the Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Empanadas with a creamy vanilla ice cream base, swirls of golden caramel and Mexican chocolate syrup, and is finished with whipped cream. The Chiller joins the top-selling Chiller lineup and is available for a limited time exclusively at Live Más Café locations across Southern California, Texas, and Las Vegas.
