Burger King is about to offer more options to “get something you want” – this time with lots of bacon.
Burger King confirmed the release of two new menu items to USA TODAY, with more “big” news coming next week. A limited-time product, a sweet, bacon-heavy twist on the classic Whopper, is available in restaurants starting Jan. 29, while a spicy update to its crispy fish sandwich is slated for next month.
News of the new items was eagerly awaited by fans after popular food and snack news account Snackolator posted about the upcoming burger, along with food influencer Markie Devo.
Burger King’s official social media is also teasing more announcements coming in Feb. 5, leaving fans to wonder what else is in store.
So far, here’s what we know about the new Candied Bacon Whopper and Fiery Big Fish sandwich.
Burger King Candied Bacon Whopper
A Burger King representative told USA TODAY about the Candied Bacon Whopper, which features the classic Whopper flame-grilled beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce and a sesame seed bun. Crispy fried onions, garlic aioli, sweet bacon jam and brown sugar candied bacon top this new sweet and meaty sandwich.
The new Candied Bacon Whopper will be available at participating restaurants nationwide starting Monday, Jan 29. The item is limited edition and while supplies last, so visit a store soon if you want to get your hands on it.

Burger King also told USA TODAY that the classic Big Fish sandwich will get the spicy treatment for a limited time during Lent. At participating locations, customers can get the Fiery Big Fish, a twist on the classic that includes lettuce, pickles, tartar sauce and a spicy glaze on a brioche-style bun, starting Feb. 14.
The classic Big Fish will also be part of a special for Royals Perks members. From Feb. 14 – March 28, subscribers to the free loyalty program can get Big Fish for $2 off the purchase of a full-priced item.
