Burger King is celebrating the spooky season with new “Trick-or-Heat” items, the Ghost Pepper Whopper and Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries available Oct. 12 nationwide.
“Earlier this year, we asked Guests if we should bring back the Ghost Pepper Whopper or introduce Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries,” Pat O’Toole, Burger King North America’s chief marketing officer, said in a press release. “The results were split, so we’re adding both products to our menus nationwide this Halloween season, giving Guests multiple ways to enjoy the perfect combination of flavor and heat.”
The Ghost Pepper Whopper features a flame-grilled 100% beef patty topped with spicy queso, jalapeños, bacon, and ghost pepper cheese in between a Halloween-themed orange bun topped with black sesame seeds.
The Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries will be available in four, eight, and 12-piece options with the customer’s choice of dipping sauce. The new fries are the fast food restaurant’s latest venture into creating and cooking unconventional fries. Previously, the chain released the Spicy Chicken Fries, Buffalo Chicken Fries, and Jalapeño Chicken Fries.
The new menu items will be available for a limited time while supplies last.
