Just in time for Halloween, Taco Bell is testing a new menu item that is part candy and part quesadilla. It’s called a Chocoladilla and it’s blowing up dollar menus. according to Mashable.
After a successful test of the product in the U.K. a year ago (where it’s known as a Chocodilla), the company is now testing at select locations in Wisconsin through mid-November.

The $1 menu item is exactly what it sounds like: a Kit Kat grilled inside a flour tortilla— just like a quesadilla, but without the cheese or veggies. And while it’s a novelty here in the states, the chocolate concoction is an international delight, available at Taco Bell locations around the world.

The Chocoladilla has been on menus since October 5. And according to Brand Eating, some Taco Bell locations are offering a Twix version.
As some people on Twitter were quick to point out, “ladilla” is the Spanish term for “public lice” (crabs). Not exactly appetizing.
Hey @tacobell if you are thinking of selling #CHOCOLADILLA in Latin America, you better fix the name. Ladilla means crab louse #EpicFail

As with most quesadillas, the Kit Kat variety looks best as a whole versus the sum of its parts.

As for whether or not you can expect the Kit Kat quesadilla to show up at your neighborhood Taco Bell, a company representative told Mashable that “customer response” to this round of testing will determine the item’s expansion.
For a buck, you can also just go buy a Kit Kat, put it in a flour tortilla, and stick it in a skillet.
