I did private message the creators and no one responded. So, I was hoping someone out there could still help me.
I bet you could color some fondant or do white chocolate clay? The white choc clay would be yummy! I just learned about chocolate clay which was melting chocolate and adding corn syrup. sorry I can't remember the measurements but it was a Wilton recipe so you should be able to find it in the recipe section on their site. Once you make the clay and let it firm up, you roll it out like fondant. Do you have something that you could use to hold them up and keep their taco shape? That might work?

This is for large shells, but I am sure you could just make smaller circles...
For "taco shells" - melt white candy melts in microwave, according to directions on package. Use 1/3 of bag at a time to avoid too much re-heating of melts. Add yellow food coloring to melted candy until it looks the color of a taco shell. Crumble two chocolate cookies(wafer only if using Oreo brand)and add approx. 1/4 tsp. to each bowl of melted candies. Mix. Should look like roasted cornmeal flecks in taco shells.
Forgot the other half of the directions!!!! ![]()
Pour melted candy on to waxed paper, approx. 1/4 cup. Spread in circular motion to desired size. Place another sheet of waxed paper over candy. Wait 15-30 seconds for candy to begin to set up. Fold candy/paper over a real taco shell so candy can set in the appropriate shape. Do not do this step too soon as the cooling candy will fall away from the 'fold' and your shell will break. Let stand approx. 10 minutes.

I've made these too (they are in my photos). I actually traced a real corn tortilla onto wax paper, spread the candy melts in the circle, and then placed my cake in, folded it over and put in the freezer. This gives the shells and irregular look, more like "real" fried shells. Oh, for the cake I use the pumpkin mini pan and cut them in half, so they are flat half moon shapes.
They are actually in a wilton yearbook......gotta look....
Yay!! Found it....
