Say what you will about capitalism, but without it, I doubt we would have “Mummy Mozzarella Fries” and “Vampire Nuggets“. This year, Burger King is taking over the horror genre with their new Monster Menu. The official tagline is “a line of hauntingly tasty twists on fan-favorite items inspired by some of the most iconic monsters.”
Now, this is unfortunately a limited-time menu. These delightful items go on the shelves starting September 30th and will likely live with all the other ghouls of the season. Burger King has a pretty cool line up this year. The Monster Menu will feature:
Jack-O-Lantern Whopper® – The iconic flame-grilled Whopper®, stacked with American cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mayo, on a striking Jack O’ Lantern orange bun topped with black sesame seeds that gets its festive hue from natural spice.
Vampire Nuggets – Crispy chicken nuggets shaped like vampire fangs and bats served in a carton designed as a coffin, perfect for dipping and sharing with your coven. These fang-tastic treats are available as part of the King Jr. Meal® or a la carte.
Mummy Mozzarella Fries – Crispy mozzarella sticks “wrapped” in golden breading, paired with a marinara dipping sauce and served in a special limited-edition mummy-themed box.
Franken-Candy Sundae – Creamy vanilla soft serve topped with a franken-mix of OREO cookie crumbles, purple franken-candy syrup, and purple and green popping candy, stitching together one electrifyingly sweet dessert.
We should also probably discuss that Burger King has partnered up with Scooby Doo this Halloween season. Why did they do this, you might ask? No idea. But it’s super cool. You can read the official description from Burger King below.
“For the tiniest monsters in the family, Burger King is offering a special-edition King Jr. Meal®, featuring Vampire Nuggets – the first King Jr. innovation in years – and an exclusive lineup of collectible toys inspired by Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang. Kids can help solve mysteries and capture monsters while enjoying the Monster Menu.
“Finally, because no Halloween is complete without a little trick-or-treating, you can also score limited-edition Monster Menu-inspired Halloween Buckets starting October 13, at participating restaurants while supplies last. They are perfect for collecting candy (or nuggets) and keeping the spooky spirit alive long after the last jack-o’-lantern flickers out.”
“BK fans have come to expect something spirited from us during the Halloween season, and each year we try to bring even more fun to families,” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C. “This year, we’ve dialed up the fun and flavor, not only with our ‘Monster Menu’ line-up complete with themed menu innovation, packaging and a special crown, but also with collectible buckets and Scooby-Doo toys – creating even more experiences for everyone.”
