What a name. What a dessert.
Happy Ending Chocolate is a local business that started out as a chocolatier, with a modest selection which they offer on their web site and also distribute to various cafes and stores in the area. More recently (reportedly Sept 2019), they started to produce chocolate-dipped ice cream tacos and now have a repertoire of upwards of 12 varieties (including seasonal, so be forewarned).
They do sell 6-packs on their web site for $30 (w/ $5 for next-day home delivery to Las Vegas and Henderson), but it's obviously best for new customers to track down their pop-up events via Instagram (@happyendingchocolate, naturally) and order one taco to try.
They also do private events such as "weddings, corporate events and brand activation." I happened to encounter their ice cream cart last night at one such event. I'd heard rave reviews from friends but never took the initiative to try any of their ice cream tacos, so this was a fortunate opportunity.
Out of 4 available options, I went with the first flavor that struck my fancy: Peanut Butter Fudge. Perhaps I was subconsciously hoping for something decadent, and I got it in spades. The exterior was a dipped chocolate coating around a waffle "cone" taco. The interior was creamy, non-airy ice cream with a punch of PB and chocolate. I absolutely loved every bite.
I'm equally glad that Happy Ending Chocolate has added a delicious dessert to a surprising dessert desert in this desert city (translation: we don't have enough good ice cream for a place with long, hot summers) and sad that it's not available daily and all over town. If you have a sweet tooth and you get the chance to try their ice cream tacos, do so without hesitation. read more
