A year after bringing fans the first-ever Dessert Taco Shells, made with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch coating, Old El Paso is launching a new flavor to elevate football spreads nationwide. This time, Old El Paso is dropping a limited-edition, collector’s version of the Caramel Dessert Taco Shells box before the treats hit shelves nationally. Featuring both J.J. and Jason on packaging, the exclusive boxes will be available for consumers to snag in bundles of three, online only at Walmart.com. Starting February 5 at 1 a.m. EST, sprint to secure yours while supplies last!

“Last year, football fans went wild for our limited-edition box featuring J.J. Watt and Justin Jefferson, with the dessert taco shells selling out in just hours,” said Jenny Jonker, Old El Paso Brand Experience Manager. “This year, we’re bringing back the excitement with another MVP duo and a brand-new flavor that perfectly blends sweet and savory — guaranteed to be a hit with football fans and food lovers everywhere.”

The caramel-flavored shells deliver a delicious hit of caramel with the satisfying crunch of a hard taco. Plus, Old El Paso’s Stand ‘n Stuff™ flat bottom shells are perfect for holding your favorite ice cream and toppings. With Old El Paso, game-day becomes a celebration bringing fans together to enjoy a treat that everyone will love.
