Your next burger-and-nug trip could be absolutely ooky-spooky.
Burger King announced its first-ever Monster Menu on Monday, Sept. 29, featuring four “hauntingly tasty twists” on fan-favorite items — all inspired by spooky season’s most iconic characters.
What’s on Burger King’s Monster Menu?
All four of these items will be available at participating U.S. restaurants starting Sept. 30:
- Jack-O-Lantern Whopper: Jack-O-Lantern Whopper: This radioactive-looking Whopper features American cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup and mayo on a “Jack O’ Lantern orange” bun (which gets its color from natural spice) topped with black sesame seeds.
- Vampire Nuggets: These nuggets are shaped like vampire fangs and bats and served in a coffin-shaped carton. They’re available as part of the King Jr. Meal or a la carte.
- Mummy Mozzarella Fries: These mozzarella sticks are “wrapped” in breading, paired with marinara dipping sauce and served in a special limited-edition mummy-themed box.
- Franken-Candy Sundae: This “electrifyingly sweet” dessert features vanilla soft serve topped with a mix of Oreo crumbles, purple candy syrup, and purple and green popping candy.
Burger King Is Also Offering a Halloween-Themed Kids Meal and Bucket
The burger chain is also offering a special-edition King Jr. Meal for Halloween, featuring the aforementioned Vampire Nuggets and collectible toys inspired by Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang.
The limited-edition Burger King x Scooby-Doo Halloween lineup features six toys: Scooby and the gang, as well as the villain from “The Headless Horseman of Halloween,” and they all come with a removable mask.
Trick-or-treating customers can also grab a limited-edition Halloween Bucket at Burger King starting Oct. 13 at participating restaurants, while supplies last. No word yet on the return of McDonald’s Boo Buckets, by the way.
Joel Yashinsky, CMO of Burger King U.S. and Canada, said the chain has “dialed up the fun and flavor” on Halloween with the Monster Menu, collectible buckets, Scooby-Doo toys and even a special crown.
Wendy’s Is Also Offering A Halloween Meal for Kids
Burger King isn’t the only fast-food chain to give the kiddos something spooky this October. Wendy’s is now offering the Frosty Frights Kids’ Meal, which features the choice of a 4-piece chicken nuggets, a hamburger or cheeseburger, plus Jr. Hot & Crispy Fries or Apple Bites and a kids’ drink, for a limited time. Children can collect up to 12 Frosty-inspired toys from the meal.
